Chassis:
First used by Jackie Oliver, chassis R6 was assigned to Graham Hill for the last rounds of the 1968 season. The start of the pairing was somewhat inconspicuous as the car lost a wheel at Monza, causing Hill to crash. The two-time World Champion did manage to score a win in the Mexican Grand Prix later in the year. Jochen Rindt then raced R6 well into the 1970 season, scoring a victory in the 1969 US Grand Prix and the 1970 Monaco Grand Prix. Following its contemporary racing career, the car was displayed in the British Motor Museum and later joined a prominent Paris-based collection. It was then part of an Austrian collection alongside the Type 72 also used by Rindt. Today it is part of a formidable collection of Grand Prix cars in France.
