The GT40 roadster, sort of puke green, that Bob Bondurant crashed in
the targa in '65 is on the road again. I am waiting for a British magazine, maybe Classic Car, to have the complete story on its rediscovery and recommissioning. Though it has made several appearances in its last livery, green, it has reportedly now been painted white.
I can't remember the magazine that showed glimpses of it in green but it's either Thoroughbred & Classic Car or its rival and will be in the next issue or two.
I wonder if Bob thinks the car was rebuildable? It would be great if Sir John Whitmore were invited to take the wheel again as Bob's crash denied him the chance to run the car
