Now that is a great video. White car that looks a lot like Dave's and we all know he was there.......looks like it has a yellow plate though, definitely not Michigan.

The white FGT is from Ford's Heritage Collection in Dagenham.

Apparently, the '66 is a rebodied Mk1, with 289 still intact:

On Tuesday after the 24hr, Floridaho Chris, Dr Bill and I were driving the old streets of Le Mans when the 2nd place #1 powder blue MKII drove up next to us and stopped at a light. Have no idea where he was going but it was very cool to watch.

Those are beautiful cars in an amazing setting. There's nothing quite like see them rolling down the road together. Both are epic.
