AUTOart 81911 Ford GT #67 (2019 Le Mans) — 1:18 Collector Guide
AUTOart item 81911 is the 1:18-scale Ford GT number 67 from the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by Andy Priaulx, Harry Tincknell and Jonathan Bomarito. Its red-and-white “celebration” livery honors the Ford Mark IV that won Le Mans in 1967. That combination of item number, year, driver trio and heritage color scheme is the fastest way to separate this model from AUTOart’s earlier number 67 Ford GT releases.
This is a completed collector model, not a plastic kit, radio-controlled car or slot car. Before buying, match the AUTOart number 81911, the 1:18 scale, the red-and-white number 67 graphics and the listed driver names. Then inspect the exact product photograph, packaging and any opening or removable panels important to your display.

Why the 2019 number 67 wears red and white
Ford gave its four factory Ford GTs special heritage liveries for the 2019 Le Mans race, which marked the end of the contemporary factory FIA World Endurance Championship program. The number 67 car used red and white to recall the Ford Mark IV driven to overall victory at Le Mans in 1967.
That history is not merely background decoration: it is one of the model’s strongest identification clues. A number 67 Ford GT in blue, red and white can represent a different season. On item 81911, look for the red body, broad white areas, number 67 panels and the Priaulx–Tincknell–Bomarito driver assignment associated with the 2019 car.

Do not confuse 81911 with AUTOart 81710
AUTOart produced another 1:18 number 67 Ford GT under item 81710. It represents the 2017 Le Mans entry, not the red-and-white heritage-livery car from 2019. The two releases share the manufacturer, scale and race number, so a shortened marketplace title can easily create confusion.
| Check | AUTOart 81911 | AUTOart 81710 |
|---|---|---|
| Race year | 2019 | 2017 |
| Driver trio | Priaulx / Tincknell / Bomarito | Derani / Priaulx / Tincknell |
| Main visual identity | Red-and-white 1967 victory tribute | Blue, red and white 2017 race livery |
| Manufacturer number | 81911 | 81710 |
When buying a boxed example, confirm the number printed on the packaging rather than relying only on “Ford GT #67.” When buying loose, use the livery and driver markings together and ask for a clear underside or packaging photograph when the exact release matters.
Model features worth checking on item 81911
Listings for AUTOart 81911 describe a composite die-cast construction with working or removable access features, including upward-opening dihedral doors and removable front and rear body covers. They also identify the race car’s fixed rear wing and large rear diffuser as important model details.
Doors and panel fit
Check that both doors open and close evenly without rubbing the paint or sitting proud of the body. If the model has been displayed, ask whether the hinges hold their position and whether the panel gaps remain symmetrical.
Removable front and rear covers
Confirm that both covers are present, correctly seated and free from broken locating tabs. A loose model missing one removable panel is not complete merely because the visible body still looks intact.
Wing and diffuser
The fixed rear wing, fins and diffuser are visually prominent and vulnerable during handling. Inspect mounting points, leading edges and corners for stress, repair or warping.
Wheels, tires and steering
Compare all four wheels for matching finish and position. Check tire seating, axle alignment and steering movement without forcing the mechanism.
Condition rule: a photograph can confirm what is visible, but it cannot prove that every hinge, steering component or removable panel works correctly. Ask for a function check when those features matter to the purchase.
Packaging and completeness checklist
For a boxed collector model, the outer carton is only one layer of the package. The inner supports, ties, protective films, instructions and any separate accessories can matter to safe storage and future transport.
- Match the label: AUTOart, 81911, Ford GT number 67, 2019 Le Mans and 1:18 should agree.
- Check the driver names: Priaulx, Tincknell and Bomarito should appear in the release identity.
- Inspect the model supports: confirm the base, inner tray, foam or molded supports and fasteners are present.
- Look for loose parts: mirrors, antennae, wing pieces and body covers should not be floating in the box.
- Examine clear areas: windows and light lenses should be free of cracks, fogging, adhesive marks and deep scratches.
- Separate box wear from model wear: a scuffed carton does not prove model damage, and a clean carton does not prove the model is untouched.
How to display the 1:18 Ford GT safely
A 1:18 endurance-racing model needs more room than the scale label alone suggests because the wing, mirrors and open doors extend beyond the basic footprint. Measure the display shelf with the car closed and with any feature you intend to show open.
- Support the model from the base or chassis area, not the wing, mirrors or removable covers.
- Keep direct sunlight off the red-and-white finish and printed sponsor graphics.
- Use a stable shelf or case with enough clearance above the dihedral doors.
- Dust with a clean, soft brush before using any liquid product.
- Retain the original packaging for transport, but do not force a panel or mirror into a support that no longer aligns.

Who this model is best for
AUTOart 81911 is a focused choice for collectors of Ford GT race cars, modern Le Mans entries, Ford’s heritage liveries or detailed 1:18 endurance models. It is especially useful when the goal is to represent Ford’s 2019 factory-program finale or to display the modern number 67 beside a 1967 Ford Mark IV tribute subject.
It is not interchangeable with every number 67 Ford GT. Collectors building a year-by-year Le Mans display should verify the item number, livery and drivers before placing it beside a 2017 release. Buyers who primarily want a toy for frequent handling should also note that the model’s mirrors, wing, panels and fine graphics call for collector-style care.
