Chassis:
Believed to have been built on one of the M1 chassis, this was the first of four GT40s used by the JW Automotive team. It was raced to victory at Brands Hatch in 1969 and only used once in 1969. Chassis 1074 was sold to the United States soon after and later used as one of the camera cars for the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans. During the 1970s, it was restored to its 1968 configuration and passed through the hands of noted collectors Anthony Bamford and Harley Cluxton, who would go on to own the complete JW Automotive team. Now in American hands, the striking machine will be offered by RM Auctions at their annual Monterey sale on August 17.
