Not too common: open-top GT40s

Alright, maybe even rarer than hen’s teeth. The first example is believed to be one of three GT40 Spyders (unless it’s a replica) produced for the 1965 Targa Florio, of which one of the drivers was none other than the legendary Bob Bondurant.

The X1 was another open-top GT40, although it wasn’t especially competitive in motorsport.
