Pete, according to John Starkey's T70 book, at least 2 cars have appeared with chassis 142 since that fateful day in 1969... The remains of the original are "reputed to be buried in a gravel pit in Slough"
Gaps: (138 was the first 3B coupé, and there are 2 of these chassis now!)
139: Penske (Daytona 69 winner)
140: Penske (Spare car), raced occasionally thereafter
147: Louis Morand in 1969
152: Jacques Rey
154-158, 160-161 were constructed "post-production", but not sure when. 154 renumbered as SL76/137.
Most chassis are still current, but how much of the orignal is in some of them, I'm not sure. Another new chassis exists, 136, this number wasn't used in period, but is now on a 3B. (Carlos Barbot's car in Supersports)
Some histories are, as usual, murky!!
