Hi guys,

Originally I tried to send this to the forum but it only went to Tomas.   I 
had written:

Of course Patrick didn't answer, because I failed to send it to the forum.  
 DOH!   But then, Tomas wrote back to me:

I know for a fact Dr. Jorgens' car was (is?) 6051.   The photo caption of 
the white car claimed it was 6051 so I presumed it was the same car, that 
traded hands.

However, in the Le Mans entry list, the white car is shown as being a '71.  
 That, coupled with Roland's (apparent?) testimony, would tend to suggest 
that there are two different cars in play here.

Roland--do you know specific details about the white car (including VIN), 
and if not, can you find out?

THANKS!

Mike

     Patrick, what's the story?
