I met a gentleman here at work who's dad had a racing team in the 60's called Scuderia Bear. He raced some Ferrari's (the prototype 250 GTO purchased after Stirling Moss drove it at Sebring is one example) He also raced a Cobra, a GT40, the Genie Cobra and several other cars.
He raced his gt40 at Le Mans in 66 but unfortunately crashed it in practise. As the story goes, the car was so badly damaged, that his dad hired a farmer with a back hoe to bury it. Has that chassis number (1029) ever resurfaced?
with great interest,

ps: I scanned in all the photos that Peter had from his dad. I have the original receipt for the gt40 as created by Ford Advanced Vehicles Limited in England as well as a host of other photos.
