Not only rebodied, there were also structural changes done. As the wheelbase shortened by Illert. The car has been further on raced as "Ferrari LMP". Viennese Stefan Sklenar bought this car from Illert. It has been garaged near my home. After an accident it stood at a scrapyard only 500 metres from my home for years under a tarpaulin.
