Trade-in car. This 1968 Ford Cosworth Focus Mark V Le Mans Racer has a fascinating and unique history in the Swedish motorsports world. Built by Sportscars Motors, a renowned company led by Lennart Sundin and Sven "Buris" Burehed, this car was part of the Swedish racing scene in the 1960s. With their expertise, they built several racing cars under the Focus name, including some Formula cars and later sports cars such as this particular model.

Built for international competition

Originally, this Focus Mark V was developed for driver Picko Troberg, who would use the car in the World Championship Sportscars up to two-liter. The chassis was designed by Charles Lucas, inspired by the Lotus 23, and the aluminum body was manufactured internally. The project began with a Maserati engine, but after disappointing performance, it was replaced by the famous 1600 Ford Cosworth FVA engine, which is still present in the car. This 200-hp powerplant makes the Focus Mark V a particularly desirable and powerful racer.

A complete and challenging restoration project

This unique racing project includes the chassis, the original aluminum body and the powerful Ford FVA engine, mated to a five-speed Hewland gearbox. With traces of its rich racing history and associated parts, such as the original racing wheels and two additional front ends, this car offers great potential for restoration. For the true enthusiast, this project is a rare opportunity to bring a piece of motorsports history to life.
