The Mk III had a different front end with double head light lamps and an extended rear to house a luggage trunk. There were street versions of the Mk I, with essentially a detuned race 289. -- Last edit: 2014-03-14 17:19:38

It was chassis [P/1074], originally built as a lightweight John Wyer Mirage (chassis M1/10003) in January 1967 after the official end of the GT40 programme - Link to "www.hemmings.com" , http://gt40.net/gt40-chassis-numbers/gt40-p1074/ .
