THE ICONIC SALE AT RACE RETRO 22nd February 2025
+ buyer’s premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) 115 Ford’s new supercar had been created with GT racing in mind, hence the presence of an integral roll cage and a host of other competition car technologies. Yet despite its state of the art track-focused suspension, the GT has a ride quality rivalling that of a luxury saloon. Such was the excitement and popularity of the new GT, the planned 1,000 road models had all been sold before deliveries commenced in 2017. This 2020 model year Ford GT is one of 50 Heritage Edition examples built in commemoration and as tribute to the legendary GT40 P/1075, the car that won the 1968 and 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans with its unmistakable Gulf Oil blue and orange livery, arguably one of the most celebrated colour combinations/liveries in history. The modern interpretation is Heritage Blue with Competition Orange stripes and heritage roundel graphics over a black Heritage interior to match the original GT40. The 2019 model featured a large No. 9 graphic on the doors and hood, and this, the 2020 model featured a large No. 6, representing the 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40. Inside the car features a host of unique elements such as the Alcantara-trimmed interior, including seats, dashboard, headliner, and steering wheel, blue and orange contrast stitching, mirroring the car’s exterior as well as a unique chassis plate, signifying its limited-production number, this being L249. The interior is optioned with the Heritage package and the fixed Sparco seats are trimmed in black leather and Alcantara upholstery with patterned seat inserts. Gulf-inspired blue and orange stitching is present on the seats and steering wheel. Exposed carbon fibre is visible on the door sills, dashboard, and centre console and the fixed-position driver’s seat is compensated by an adjustable pedal box and steering column. Additional appointments include air conditioning, an infotainment system with a touchscreen and 6-point harness anchors. Externally the car features race-tuned suspension with adjustable Track Mode which drops the car by nearly 2” for better aerodynamics and handling, a deployable rear wing, front splitter and rear diffuser which optimize downforce at high speeds. The car sits on staggered-width 20” forged aluminium wheels, shod in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. Braking is handled by orange-painted Brembo 6-piston monoblock callipers over monstrous 15.5” carbon-ceramic discs up front, with 4-piston callipers over the 14.1” units at the back. Ordered new and first registered in the UK on 5th May 2021, this Ford GT Heritage Edition had covered just 3,413 miles (at time of cataloguing) in the hands of its single owner and comes to market in stunning condition. Thankfully the car has been meticulously looked after and cherished, stored correctly and has followed its recommended routine servicing and maintenance. It’s supplied with the GT ordering kit, factory literature, service records and two keys. Accompanying this GT is the complete package from new including the build box – used to select your full specification, spare key, battery conditioner and images of the build in a presentation folder. Also forming part of the sale is a detailed history file. In summary, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own one of very few UK-delivered Ford GTs, let alone one of just 50 ever produced, presenting in fantastic condition. With GTs consistently trading over $1,000,000 in the US, this Heritage Edition isn’t just a stunning tribute to Ford’s legendary Le Mans victories, it’s also a cutting-edge ‘hypercar’ that seriously pushes the limits of aerodynamics, technology, and raw performance. Whether on the track, or in a Collection, this GT rightfully stands out as one of the most iconic and sought-after modern supercars. This pristine example represents serious value and an opportunity not to be missed in order to join the rather exclusive club of Ford GT owners. One of 50 ever made, one of two delivered new to the UK and one owner from new, a myriad of collector headlines and exclusivity, presented in outstanding condition.
