However, straight line and powering through corners were out performing the Ferraris, but the 1967 it was found that the brakes were not up to the cars performance.

In 2008 Maurice O’Reilly called to say the car was for sale in Belgium after a short stay in the United States. It has been mentioned that the car had European customs concerns for three years, but there is no evidence of this. The car was then purchased by the current owner and supported by Mr. Adrias Stals in Latvia who prepared they car for European racing.
