Celebrate one of the most striking sports prototypes of the late 1960s with this beautifully detailed Ford P68 3.0 Cosworth Gulf Livery Slot Car.

Historical Background

The Ford P68 was developed by Alan Mann Racing for the 1968 World Sportscar Championship as Ford's challenger in the 3.0-litre prototype category. Designed by Len Bailey and powered by the successful Ford Cosworth DFV V8, the P68 featured revolutionary low-profile aerodynamics that made it one of the most recognisable racing cars of its generation.

Despite its innovative design and impressive speed, reliability and aerodynamic issues prevented the P68 from achieving the success its potential promised. Throughout its racing career, every Ford P68 competed exclusively in the distinctive Alan Mann Racing red and gold livery.

This model offers an authentic period-inspired "what if" interpretation, imagining how the P68 might have appeared had it raced in the legendary Gulf Racing colours. While never raced in this livery, it creates a stunning addition to any slot car collection, celebrating both one of Ford's most ambitious sports prototypes and one of motorsport's most iconic racing colour schemes.
