In 1956 Monte they were entered for Peter Harper, Sheila Van Damm and Jimmy Ray - all finished (with Harper 3rd o/a) and won the Manufacturer's Team Prize for the 3rd time, so it was awarded permanently. This was the last but one event for works Mk.IIIs which were replaced after the 1956 RAC by the Rapier. 603 and 605 still survive today.
