Incidentally, I owned a few years ago AM56 that had come from Switzerland and had been fitted with an ugly Sbarro bodywork.
Some more news about this car.
I figured out three previous owners.
Before Mr Mathevet, it was owned by Mr Pugnot who led a Citroen garage in Marseille, South of France.
He bought this car in 1976/1977 to Michel Hugon and resprayed it in British Racing Green.
Mr. Hugon confirmed to me that when he get the car it had a red bodywork.
Himself bought it in "La Reole", a small village nearby Nogaro, to a Ford agency services garage called "garage Thomas".
The first 10 years will probably be the more difficult to recover!

Does anyone have info/photos from Trevor Blokdyk's BT16 crashed in Albi in 1965?
He had a long recovery prior to race again in May 1966. Was it the same chassis that has been repaired or a new one when he started racing again?
