Chris Fox should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The genuine 282-6 (with black roll hoop) was sold to the US I don't know the owners name, but i am checking.
The replica was sold into France! I think they know....
I know that 280-5 was surposedly the first chassis to have the symetrical hoop and was the the same spec as the 282 chassis.
But the pictures of the bonnier cars at Le Mans tells a different story, I am checking these details with some of my old contacts from the factory.
The history of the car (280-5) after Bonnier after reading this is now even more of a mystery!

Regards Chris
