Distinguished as the last Europa GT completed, the car features fully evolved, advanced GT upgrades. This rare and coveted Ferrari GT’s Colombo V12 engine was rebuilt by Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis, while Ken Nemanic’s Vintage Automotive Upholstery trimmed the interior using the well-preserved original interior as a foundation for authentic color, pattern, and detail.

For each year of GT production, Ford has offered a new special Heritage Edition model, each celebrating a different significant moment in GT40 history. For the 2021 model year, Ford selected the distinctive white, matte black, and red color scheme of the 1968 Daytona 24 Hour Continental Race winner, as driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby – notable Ford’s very first 24-Hour race win.

One of just 25 owners to participate in the program, the car on offer was upgraded to be a bespoke, highly personalized edition with no two being exactly the same. Since its striking transformation, this fabulous SLR McLaren Edition has seen limited use and remains in superb order.
