Does anyone know the present owners of these cars? And most important for my researches: Is there any chance to contact one of them?
Thanks for any help!

There are 3 of them entered in the Grand Prix de Monaco 'Historique' 2006

According to somebody who runs one of these cars they are not much use in historic racing, as the engine has to be rebuilt after 200 km, and it takes 6 months to get the parts... compare to Cosworth!

The problem is that thare are hardly any parts left.
I used to own 312T-018 and had the last original block some 15/17 years ago and the last crank.
That made me decide to sell the car.
The cranck can be made, but new blocks or heads ar rather difficult.....
On top of that, the early cars (like 018) had magnesium blocks that turn into white powder; I still have the original block full of holes inside in my garage.
The later cars had aluminium blocks that were much easier to keep in good shape.

Of course any Cosworth DFV is much better for historic racing, but the excitement of racing a 312T is just awesome!
