....It seems hard to believe now of a factory team, but A98 didn`t arrive back from being bodied until just before the LeMans practice session, so it was registered & taxed for road use then driven to Le Mans, unpainted,with I think, dummy headlights! AAAaahh. The Good ol` days!!! I know that 39 PH was one of the last cars EVER to be driven TO & FROM LeMans, Geez, even my Dad trailered it to & from every race.
