Interesting sighting in Anglesey

A bit of Le Mans history rotting away
(OK maybe not this particular car).
Ford v Ferrari v Marcos, Le Mans 1966.
It was the only British car to finish - in 15th place. Good for over 130mph on the Mulsanne so it was an effective little thing.
Someone really should save it…probably an effective way to get an entry for a race at the Revival/MM @ Goodwood ( after peeling away the undergrowth and a few hours work)…

That one is X reg and probably an 80's car. Only the Mk1's from the 60's would be eligible for Goodwood I'd have thought.Editing to add that the club website has it down as a MKiv and untaxed since 1993.
