Ford P68 / NSR

Bruce McLaren, Mike Spence, BOAC 500, 6H Brands Hatch 1968

Alan Mann Racing Team entered two new Ford P68s in the BOAC 500 that had to be held on Brands Hatch circuit. In #33 car Johen Rindt and Mike Spence shared the wheel and in #34 Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme. Rindt's car suffered a breakdown and was unable to start the race, and Alan Mann decided that Mike Spence, a specialist in Brands Hatch, would drive with McLaren on #34. A drive shaft doughnut left the car out of the race when it was leading. This was the last race of Mike Spence before his fatal accident in Indianapolis fifteen days later. Curiously, the fourth driver of the P68 had to be Jim Clark, who also died a month later in Hockenheim.

NSR already made the reproduction of the Ford P68 #33 (1144SW) and now puts on track number 34 (0034SW) that will be on sale this coming week.
