This vehicle was the one that the No. 20 300 SLR driven by Bouillin had clipped, sending Bouillin over the barrier and into the crowd. |

This car still exists! It was badly damaged as a result of the Mercedes ramping off it's rear and impounded afterwards as a result but was fully repaired. The photo is from a 2011 article on the car being put up for auction where it was expected to sell for a minimum of 500'000 British pounds. It had not been restored other than it's post-LeMans crash repairs, though more recent photos suggest the car has been repainted. Link to "www.24h-lemans.com" |
