Chassis:
Completed in the Summer of 1970, this T210 was sold new to the German B.G. Racing Team for Willy Kauhsen to race. He campaigned the car in the final rounds of the European 2-Litre Championship before the car was shipped to South Africa where it remained through to the end of 1971. It was eventually returned to Europe and raced to victory at 1972 Paul Ricard round of the European 2-Litre Championship by Gérard Larrousse. Following its contemporary racing career, it was sold to notable Swiss entrant George Foitek and then passed to British enthusiast Peter Bloore. He would own the car for 25 years. A subsequent owner submitted the car to Broadley Automotive for a complete restoration. With the car done for around 90%, it was acquired by Mark Piercy. He had the work completed by Martin Stretton. The end result was one of the fastest T210s, which notably won the CER1 race during the 2017 Dix Mille Tours. At the 2018 Race Retro it was sold by Silverstone Auctions for £146,250.
