Finished in its striking \u003cstrong\u003egold-over-black livery\u003c\/strong\u003e, this 1\/32 scale classic captures one of the privateer GT40s that continued to compete after Ford's factory programme had moved beyond the car's dominant period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe C4495 combines Scalextric's high-detail tooling with a period-correct livery and a useful racing specification including \u003cstrong\u003eMagnatraction, working front lights, an easy-change guide blade and DPR digital compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e.

While the factory-backed cars were fighting at the front of international endurance racing, the GT40 remained highly attractive to privateer teams — and the C4495 represents one of those independent efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerry Drury and Keith Holland\u003c\/strong\u003e qualified the #8 GT40 in \u003cstrong\u003e22nd position\u003c\/strong\u003e for the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch.
