FT ran an article this weekend on a very special car that they have just created. The back story …being rather fascinating.
To cut to the chase this is apparently just the fifth car of this type, a special 250 GTO of which just 4 where made at the factory to race at Le Mans in 1963 (the dream of a farmer from Essex who sadly passed away before this could be completed, whilst driving his vintage Bentley…) and then Bell SC where able to follow through and make it happen.
When you look back over 50 years at the heritage and performance ….400 BHP car with weight of 1200 kilo’s. Racing engine with peak power around 7,600 RPM. So a remarkable car for the era……hence almost a one off.
What is it worth!…….alot of money…….. more than a 250 GTO…..thats a very good guess right now.
Enjoy these two videos one of the car doing its stuff and the other of Bell SC (a clever bunch of British engineers) helping to to maintain other like cars on the road for all our enjoyment.
