Forgot to mention had a chance to drive a Mark IV before I left. J6 out of New Rochelle.

The flashing red light is illuminated.

106 became 1031. As shown the roof vent is wrong for 106 and it is in MK II "B" interior form, but only for some items but not others.

What say the experts

?

Not sure all my books and notes are in my home. Someone emailed me this ad. I remember on the GT Forum(not a member) Ronnie Sain did come out and stated that one GT 106 was a fraud. Not sure that this is the same one.

GT/106: Raced at LeMans on 6/19-20/65 (as #1) retired after 4 hrs. with gearbox troubles. At Daytona testing by K. Miles on 10/16/65 for half shaft behavior, testing was terminated when it was noted that the chassis had fractures at the suspension pick-up points. Chassis was replaced with P/1031. GT/106 was sold (date unknown) off to Timken Roller Bearing Co. and cut clean through 9” Fwd of rear bulkhead. Whereabouts of either half is not known.

I did try to edit title to GT106 but it will not correct.
