First time in 45ish years at Lime Rock Park and Watkins Glen. We still got a couple of bugs left to work out, but it ran like a champ.

Beautiful car - in Swiss colours. Has it also got a Swiss history?

Hi All,
It appears to be a T 75 Formula 2 originally. Always red, based on paint and primer. It was bought by the last owner in England from Strait Six. He then brought it to America where it was used only once for some parade laps, then parked and forgotten about till I bought it about a year ago.
At some point it was put into F3 trim, most likely done in period as the car had no contemporary modifications. The car seems to have no history before Strait Six got it. So if anybody knows the car, please speak up!
Cheers,
Leo
Just a few pics of the car before we loaded it up to leave.
