7 Ford F3L

When the rulemakers pushed Ford out of its factory-run GT40 programme, Alan Mann Racing picked up the slack with the Ford F3L – also known as the P68 – for the 1969 season. The car was designed by Len Bailey and much of the cash came from Ford Europe, which is why it makes this list as a ‘works’ car. It first appeared in 1967. There were moves to make a P69, an opentopped version of the car, but Jack Brabham refused to drive the car, the only one that was ever made, due to its wayward handling. The project was gently retired.
