Book Spotlight

Ultimate Ford GT40 – Volume 2

The Ultimate Ford GT40 project has proved to be a mammoth undertaking. This landmark work comprises four volumes, which will build into a unique in-depth study of the GT40. From its roots in the early 1960s through the challenges of its formative racing career, to four consecutive Le Mans 24 Hours victories, every aspect of the GT40 and its remarkable history will be analysed and documented.

Volume 1 by Ronnie Spain

Volumes 2, 3 & 4 by John S Allen, Graham Endeacott & Mark Cole with Mike Teske

Available in Limited, Collector’s and Owner’s Editions.

Each volume will be published individually. Volume 1 was published in December 2024, and Volume 2 in August 2025. Volumes 3 and 4 will follow later in 2026 and 2027. Please sign up for our Newsletter to be kept informed.
