This is Belgian pilot Mairesse that crashed in first lap at Le Mans, car was I believe owned by Blaton/alias Buerlysse(Belgian driver too).Mairesse survived crash but was seriously hurt and finally made an end to his live.An amazing pilot (even respected by Enzo)

According to the Ronnie Spain book, that was 1079. He says that it was sold to Franco Sbarro and then to Yvan Caillet who finished the rebuild with a Peugot Engine. The Legate book says that it was sold to Claude Desmas who restored it to original specs. Legate adds that there may be a second car with the same chassis number.
