Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 450hp Cosworth DFV power. 1971 Le Mans history but extensively rebuilt in 1999 with new body panels and new wheels to the origil pattern. Freshly prepared with spare bodywork, wheels, tires, barke pads, bodywork molds, rebuilt gearbox. Raced and won three times in Historic Group 4 driven by Willie Green. Green thinks it is capable of 415 Le Mans times.

Market commentary

This is a DFV powered Ligier sports racer with no period success. The bid reported here makes no sense at all ... and even less the estimate. A $125,000 Can Am car would eat it up like a croissant. No jelly required.
