"The fire was caused by pouring gasoline into the cockpit of the car. It was in pretty sad shape by then anyway with some holes in the body, real engine long gone (to Pete Lovely). But the chassis was intact and undamaged (when we restored it you could see where there had been fire, and we took photos of it, but it was not of enough intensity to hurt the frame.) The car also had a full set of undamaged Borranis on it. It was missing a lot of stuff including the seats, the windscreen and probably some of the instruments. There are some sketchy photos of it then that show a very tired and abused old race car."
