Historical Background

Introduced in 1968, the Ford P68 was developed by Alan Mann Racing as Ford's challenger for the FIA Group 6 Sports Prototype Championship. Designed by Len Bailey and powered by the proven 3.0-litre Ford Cosworth DFV V8, the car featured an exceptionally low, aerodynamic body that made it one of the most visually striking racing cars of its era.

Despite its innovative design and impressive straight-line speed, the P68's racing career was hampered by aerodynamic instability and reliability issues, preventing it from achieving the success its performance promised. Throughout its competition life, every Ford P68 competed exclusively in the distinctive Alan Mann Racing red and gold livery.

This model presents an attractive period-inspired "what if" interpretation, imagining the Ford P68 in the legendary Gulf Racing colours. While this livery was never used on the original competition cars, it offers a unique and highly desirable addition for slot car enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate classic endurance racing and iconic motorsport liveries.
