Driven by Graham Hill in the Monte Carlo Rally and Roy Pierpoint in the British Saloon Car Championship, this is undoubtedly the most famous of all the Alan Mann-built Falcons. Offered here is probably the most famous of all the Alan Mann-prepared Falcons that were the backbone of the Ford's Total Performance program in 1964. This unique batch of Ford Falcon Futura Sprints, fourteen in all, were assigned to Alan Mann by John Holman of Holman and Moody USA at the end of 1963. The association allowed him to firmly establish Alan Mann Racing which dominated the British Saloon Car racing scene until the end of the decade and the distinctive Red and Gold livery became synonymous with well-prepared successful saloons and big GT cars. They won numerous major championships including the British Saloon Car Championship, the European Touring Car Challenge and the FIA World GT Championship for Manufacturers, all with a variety of specially prepared Ford cars. Many of the leading race and rally drivers of the time were employed by Alan Mann Racing, including Sir John Whitmore, Jacky Ickx, Bosse Ljungfeldt, Graham Hill, Frank Gardner, Sir Jackie Stewart and Bruce McLaren. The Falcon on offer today was originally built by AMR for Graham Hill to drive in that years Monte Carlo Rally where he famously slid wide on the Col de Turini damaging the Falcon' left-hand wing and losing ten minutes. The ex-Monte Falcons were so successful that all the best drivers queued up to drive them including Frank Gardener and they dominated the sixties. It's really then that the our Falcon began its illustrious career in British saloon car racing. Returning from the Monte, the team commenced preparing the car for the British Saloon Car Championship to be driven by Roy Pierpoint. The new Group 5 regulations offered greater scope for innovation and the lightweight Falcons promised to be faster than the Mustangs and Galaxies had ever been and they were.
