ingo ◊ 2010-07-31 16:51	Oh, it's not the original, it's a repro: http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/0,1518,415796,00.html If I've understand it correctly, there was indeed only one single car. The original was bought by the French company Matra - for using it as a test-vehicle for jet fighter-wheels and -suspensions! It was the only car, which could reach a jet fighter's start-speed... -- Last edit: 2010-07-31 16:52:03

Very good Minichamps 1:43 model #400 713495. Excellent race footage at http://soenarko.amplify.com/2009/10/13/spa-24-hours-1971/ - brief glimpses of a Moskvitch, Citroen SM, cows grazing beside the track and a man watching the race by leaning out of his living room window next to the track. Edit: replica built 2006. -- Last edit: 2012-01-26 18:32:44
