Chassis: CH-DBE-79
Sold new to a British privateer racer, chassis DBE-79 ended up in German hands in 1970. Here it was raced for two seasons. By the 1980s, the car was back in England and carefully restored by expert Lester Owen. It was subsequently raced almost continuously, first in England and later in the United States. Still owned by an American enthusiast, chassis DBE-79 is seen here during the 2006 Monterey Historic Races.
