The three Ford GT40s that took part in the historic one-two finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans have been brought together under a single ownership for the first time in modern times.
The Miller Family Automobile Foundation has acquired GT40 chassis number P/1046 , the overall winner of the famous French race driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon . The foundation already owned the other two cars that finished on the podium that year, P/1015 and P/1016, which finished second and third, respectively.
The victory that ended Ferrari’s dominance
The 1966 victory represented one of the most important moments in Ford’s racing history. The American manufacturer succeeded in breaking the dominance of Ferrari, which had won six consecutive editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The race concluded with Ford’s famous and controversial parade down the home straight. McLaren and Amon’s P/1046 crossed the finish line alongside Ken Miles and Denny Hulme ‘s P/1015 , creating an image that would go down in motorsport history.
At first, it looked like Miles would win, but the stewards awarded the win to McLaren and Amon. Their car had started further back on the grid and had therefore covered a slightly greater distance over the 24-hour period.
Completing the podium were Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson , third behind the wheel of GT40 P/1016.
A reunited sporting heritage
The acquisition of P/1046 allows the Miller Family Automobile Foundation to preserve all three cars from the legendary Ford trifecta.
According to Greg Miller, the GT40 reunion represents an extraordinary opportunity to preserve and tell the story of one of the most significant chapters in racing history. The car’s previous owner, Rob Kauffman, also cited the foundation as the ideal organization to entrust the car’s future.
The return together at Goodwood
The three Ford GT40s made their first public appearance together at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed .
The trio will also return to the spotlight in September at the Goodwood Revival , offering enthusiasts a new opportunity to see together the cars that sixty years ago gave Ford one of the most famous victories in its sporting history.
