    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    Thanks for reminding me about the great old days! They never built any LHD GT40 racecars or Mark I road cars, but they did build LHD Mark III road cars. Of the seven Mark IIIs built, I believe there were 3 or 4 in LHD, including the first one built that I drove.

    I would have left it exactly as Ford built it. Spent many years modifying cars, IMHO this one didn't need any changes
