Question- GT40 Lightweight numbers

[Daniel H]

Does anyone know which numbers the Lightweight GT40s are?

Here is what I believe I have so far according to the registry. Would love to hear thoughts and/or corrections.

- AM GT-1
- AM GT-2
- 1074 1st LW by serial
- 1075 LW fame, chassis "super lightweight"
- 1076 LW roof and panels
- 1077 LW roof and panels
- 1078 LW roof and panels
- 1079 LW roof and panels
- 1080 LW roof and panels

you should include the Mk-ii lightweight chassis;
XGT-1
XGT-2, tub used to reconstruct P1009 into P1009A so reconstructed P1009A becomes a lightweight
XGT-3

GT103 and GT104 also had the perforated sill D ribs, as well as lots of other lightening holes.
My memory is hazzy on this detail, but I think I may have seen some other chassis with the perforated sheet used for the ribs inside the side sills as well. Maybe P1001 through to 1005?
More research needed.

GT110 / X-1, the 66 Sebring winning roadster had the Alloy center section with the steel front and rear. There are a few photos of this on the web, but i have not seen a lot of this chassis.

Not sure if the above is GT110 or GT110A as described in Ronnie Spains book -GT40 An individual history and race record. Page 196

The Mecum auction listing says "1 of 10 factory competition lightweights produced, which includes the famed Gulf Team cars" (which includes 1075 and 1076).
