Quite possibly......"1964 was to see the first attempt by Ford to win the Le Mans 24 Hour Race. Three cars were entered in the race which was held on 20th June, GT102 driven by Phil Hill and Bruce McLaren, GT103 driven by Richie Ginther and Masten Gregory. The final car was GT104 driven by Dickie Attwood and Jo Schlesser.
Unfortunately, not one of the three cars finished the race. GT104 was the first to retire when its engine bay caught fire on the Mulsanne Straight. GT103 followed shortly after with transmission problems, a problem which was to later cause the retirement of GT102.
The only consolation for Ford was that Phil Hill had managed to set a new lap record of 3 min. 49.2 sec (131.375 mph)."
These threee cars were white with black bonnets I believe. Maybe they carried some 'small' Gulf sponsorship decals.......
