The Majorette Collection 1965 Ford GT40 Mk I 1:64 Scale Die-Cast Car brings one of the most celebrated endurance-racing machines in automotive history to a compact collector format. Representing the Ford GT40 Mk I, this miniature captures the dramatically low roofline, long-tail proportions, wide stance and unmistakable racing character of the original 1960s competition car. Finished in a deep British racing green-inspired colour with contrasting white racing stripes, the model has the purposeful appearance of a machine designed around speed rather than ornamentation.
Part of Majorette Collection Series 5, the Ford GT40 Mk I is designed for collectors who appreciate historic motorsport, endurance-racing legends and detailed 1:64 die-cast models. The miniature combines a metal chassis, rubber tires, separately mounted headlights, printed mirrors and custom-designed rims, while a clear display case with a presentation base provides a dedicated space for showcasing the car. For collectors of Ford GT40 models, Le Mans racing history, classic race cars, American motorsport icons and 1:64 scale die-cast collectibles, this release offers a compact representation of a car that helped define an important era of endurance racing.
The Ford GT40 remains one of the defining names in endurance-racing history. Developed as a purpose-built competition car, the GT40 was engineered around a simple objective: achieving high-speed performance and durability over long-distance races. Its extremely low body, wide stance and enclosed cockpit gave the car a distinctive appearance that remains instantly recognisable among motorsport enthusiasts.
The GT40 Mk I represents the earliest production version of the GT40 lineage and is particularly significant to collectors interested in the origins of Ford's endurance-racing programme. The car's name itself reflected its unusually low overall height, while its aerodynamic body and competition-focused layout established the visual language that would become synonymous with the GT40.
The 1965-era car has an especially purposeful appearance. There is very little visual excess: the body is low, broad and smoothly shaped, with the cockpit pushed forward within the overall profile. The racing stripes and dark green finish of this Majorette miniature further emphasise its period competition aesthetic.
The Ford GT40's design translates naturally into a small-scale collectible because its most recognisable features are defined by proportion. The low roof, wide body, long nose, compact canopy and streamlined rear give the miniature a distinctive silhouette even at 1:64 scale.
The green-and-white finish creates a strong visual contrast, while the detailed wheels, tires, headlights, glazing and exterior trim provide the smaller-scale features collectors look for. The model's metal chassis also gives it a more substantial feel than a purely plastic miniature.
The included display case makes the GT40 particularly easy to incorporate into a dedicated motorsport display. It can be showcased alongside other classic endurance racers, Ford performance cars or the wider Majorette Collection while remaining protected from everyday dust and handling.
The Majorette Collection is designed around memorable cars from different periods of automotive history. Series 5 brings together six notable vehicles representing automotive culture from the mid-20th century through the early 2000s:
The 1965 Ford GT40 occupies an important place within this lineup as its dedicated motorsport entry. While other Collection models represent road-going sports cars and performance icons, the GT40 brings genuine endurance-racing character to the series.
Majorette has been producing miniature vehicles since 1964, combining die-cast construction with licensed representations of recognisable automotive brands. The Collection series adds a historical and presentation-focused dimension through its carefully selected subjects, collector packaging and included display cases.
The Majorette 1965 Ford GT40 Mk I is a natural fit for collectors who prefer automotive models with a strong historical identity. The GT40 is not simply recognisable because of its Ford badge; its unusually low profile, competition-focused proportions and unmistakable racing silhouette have made it one of the defining shapes of classic endurance motorsport.
At 1:64 scale, this miniature offers a practical way to add that history to a display without requiring the space of a larger-scale model. The combination of metal construction, rubber tires, custom wheels, separately mounted headlights and a dedicated display case makes it well suited to collectors who want both detailed presentation and compact dimensions.
Whether you're building a Ford GT40 collection, classic Le Mans display, historic motorsport shelf, 1:64 racing garage or complete Majorette Collection Series 5 lineup, this 1965 GT40 Mk I provides a distinctive piece of racing history in miniature form.
