The 1965 running of the Sebring 12 Hours endurance race will be remembered mostly for the appalling wet weather conditions that saw eight inches of standing water in the pits, as well as for the dominant winning performance of Jim Hall's revolutionary Chaparral sports racer. For fans of Ford's multiyear effort to wrest the world endurance crown from Ferrari, Sebring 1965 will also be remembered as an important stepping stone, as the GT40 Mk. I of Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren would run a steady pace through searing heat and drenching rain to take an impressive second place overall finish.
The Miles/McLaren GT40 that proved its mettle in the 1965 Sebring 12 Hours is now available as a highly detailed, limited-edition 1:43 scale resin model car by Spark.
