The first in a new series of profiles of specific chassis, this largely photographic edition tells the story of the car which started its racing career as a works entry at Sebring in 1960, registered ‘UJB 143’, and then after competing with the factory at Le Mans, was sold to David Dixon’s Ecurie Chilton, gaining the registration ‘DD 300’ in the process. The car enjoyed a rich and varied career over the next four decades, evolving into a competitive mod-sports machine along the way. In more recent years the car has been restored to better than original condition for historic racing and there are myriad photos of it in all forms. The latest and largest of these images are studio shots of the restored car.
