Eric Hakanson
So much history in one car. I'm a little surprised to hear the owner say "whoever designed this car..." because any fan of this particular car or more importantly any fan of LeMans history should know this was an epic collaboration between Eric Broadley, Roy Lunn and John Wyer (guys who used to work at Lola, Aston Martin, etc but joined together for this "one-off project." ) I'm not necessarily a fan of American cars, I prefer German and
British sports/race cars. But I always liked this car simply because of how it was a monumental game changer not only for Ford but for any marque that wanted to win at LeMans (and other endurance races.) This particular car doesn't necessarily deserve the "continuation" tag because I'm sure it is just as capable as the original, maybe even more so. Although this car costs well into the six figures, you wouldn't worry about driving this one as
much as you would one of the few originals (I would think an owner of an original would have one of these as well, one for the concours, this one for proper driving.) A quintessential piece of not only American but worldwide race history. Good stuff Petrolicious!
