The Real car
The real 1966 Ford GT40 Alan Mann Lightweight (Chassis AM-GT2) is one of the most mechanically unique and innovative iterations of the iconic GT40 platform. While mainstream Ford factory teams focused on adding brute horsepower via massive 7.0L big-blocks, British team owner Alan Mann championed the classic European philosophy: reduce weight, optimize handling, and burn less fuel.
Unique Design & Weight Reductions
Ordering fresh tubs directly from Abbey Panels, Alan Mann specified over 100 structural changes. The result was a vehicle that shed nearly 170 lbs (approx. 100 kg) off the standard MkI weight, turning the scales at an astonishing 2,160 lbs (980 kg) with fuel.
• The Body: Replaced traditional fiberglass panels with an ultra-thin .030-inch-thickness aircraft-grade aluminum skin. It featured a slightly narrower roofline and distinctive flat side slabs.
• Exposed Rocker Sills: To shave every ounce possible, the fiberglass rocker panel covers were omitted completely, leaving the raw horizontal metal stiffening ribs fully visible.
• Smart Engineering: It featured Phil Remington’s quick-change brake system and built-in crossover fuel systems. Mechanics also added a specialized rear oil-filler portal that allowed the engine oil sump to be topped off without having to open the rear tail shell during pit stops.
Engine & Drivetrain Specs
• Engine: Ford 289 cubic-inch (4.7L) small-block OHV V8.
• Induction: Four twin-choke Weber 48 IDA carburetors.
• Power Output: Rated at 425 Brake Horsepower (BHP) @ 6,000 RPM.
• Transmission: 5-speed ZF manual transaxle.
The 1966 Sebring 12 Hours Race
The #24 car made its highly anticipated competition debut at the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring under the management of Alan Mann Racing.
• The Drivers: Co-piloted by two of Britain's finest Formula 1 World Champions: Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart.
• The Grid: The lightweight concept proved blisteringly fast on the twisty concrete runways, qualifying 3rd overall—beating out several heavier 7.0L Ford MkII block cars and sitting just behind a factory Ferrari 330 P3.
• The Fate: Stewart and Hill ran strongly near the front of the pack for over 9 hours, running as high as 5th. However, the mechanical stress took its toll, and a clutch failure forced retirement in the 9th hour.
Post-Sebring History
Following testing at Le Mans in April 1966, Ford determined that the brute-force, high-displacement 7.0L MkII engines were better suited for Le Mans' endless Mulsanne Straight. The AM-GT2 was retired from the primary factory program, opening the door for its legendary second life.
In December 1966, the car was purchased by privateer racer Paul Hawkins. Hawkins replaced the damaged aluminum outer panels with standard fiberglass MkI bodywork to meet Group 4 racing regulations. In this configuration, AM-GT2 went on to claim more racing wins than any other privateer GT40 in history before entering prestigious private collections and undergoing an extensive, award-winning vintage restoration.
