I don't have Ronnie Spains book but just to show you how real events can contradict what is in books, I am waiting for one of the two British classic car magazines to come out with the story next month on the puke green
GT40 roadster that Bondie flipped on the Targa. It was thrown away and I wonder if Spain lists it as destroyed.

Now you see it racing in British racing events. How did it go from "destroyed" to being on the track at Goodwood? I am predicting it was "thrown away gently" and after a few decades whoever interrred it dug it up. Or is this a new chassis using the destroyed cars chassis no?

I also am still waiting for someone to narrow down the location of the GT40 7-liter targa that won Sebring in '66. That Ferrari red car was thrown away in a Los Angeles suburb landfill on the orders of Carroll Smith. I think Los Angeles is a kinder place geologically to bury a car than damp Old Blighty so I expect that one to be resurrected as soon as the Shelby employee that was there at the interment can point us in the right direction
