This may be a genuine Le Mans car or a look-alike from the period. If the registration is UR 6571 it was part of the Ralph Lauren collection and exhibited at the "Speed, Style, and Beauty: Cars from the Ralph Lauren Collection" exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in March-July 2005.

Entered by the works-supported team funded by Dorothy Paget and driven by Dudley Benjafield/Guilio Ramponi, it started 12th on grid but retired with engine problems.
