John,
I have two reasons for contacting you, the first being that you requested to know in post 349, the chassis number of the Lightweight with the Bertone number 77500. Its my car, chassis number *04700* the ex Jean Rolland Lightweight.
The second reason for contacting you is the fact that the top of the "picture frame" in front of the radiator has been removed and an SZ type bar has replaced it. I suspect it was to obtain a lower nose profile but as yet I have not been able to get the car into a proper position to measure this accurately. Certainly not as severe as the Pace car but I have no clear idea who did the work. Rolland entered the car in events under the description "Conrero Special" but as far as I know Conrero did no bodywork. Did he sub it out to someone in Milan at the time...who knows. Any ideas?
regards
