Ford took its legendary first Le Mans win on this day in 1966. The GT40 that claimed the victory remains a La Sarthe icon - hugely successful between 1966-1969 - but its true origin story begins further back than Hollywood would lead you to believe
It started in 1964 and ended in 1969. Between these dates comes not quite the whole history of Ford at Le Mans, but the only part of it anyone's likely to want to make a movie about.
The script we know already, or at least we think we do: Henry tries to woo Enzo; Enzo seems flirtatious, receptive even. Henry makes his move, Enzo performs a deft little sidestep, primly announces that he is not that kind of Italian sports car manufacturer and leaves Henry face flat on the floor, picking dust out of his teeth, muttering something about a different kind of interaction, involving his boot and Enzo's bottom.
