A used but still very goodlooking car, hardly done any laps and with original box. A rare limited model of the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans winner.
The Scalextric Ford GT40 MK2 #6 Gulf (C2404A) is a 1:32 scale, analogue slot car model of the 1969 Le Mans race car, sponsored by Gulf Oil. This specific model is a limited edition and a collectible item that was produced by Scalextric as part of a series of Ford GT40 cars. Model: Ford GT40 MK2 Livery: #6 Gulf Oil Year: 1969 Le Mans race car Scale: 1:32 Type: Analogue slot car Product Code: C2404A Rarity: Limited edition The original car that inspired this model is Ford GT40 Chassis #1075, widely considered one of the most legendary racing cars in motorsport history.What makes the real-life #6 Gulf-sponsored car so extraordinary is that it won the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans twice in a row (1968 and 1969) using the exact same chassis—a feat that is almost unheard of in endurance racing.The Historic 1969 RaceThe Drivers: The car was driven to victory by Belgian racing legend Jacky Ickx and British driver Jackie Oliver.The Iconic Protest: Jacky Ickx famously disagreed with the traditional "Le Mans start," where drivers ran across the track to their cars and sped off before buckling their seatbelts. In protest, Ickx walked slowly to car #1075, meticulously put on his harness, and started dead last.The Closest Finish: Despite starting last, Ickx and Oliver fought through the field. The race ended in a dramatic sprint, with the aging Ford GT40 crossing the finish line just 120 meters (about 100 yards) ahead of a much newer Porsche 908
