Nothing to do with a GT40, but there is a Ford connection.

Good enough for the point. It was actually the 1965 event, where he finished 24th overall. It was a 1000cc engine so I presume that it was an MAE motor.

Another well-earned point.

(Are there any other international races where the paddock/collection point is a railway yard?)
