In addition, I was also told at the stame time that the car had been found in Switzerland and was fitted with an FT200 and BDH engine. The name of the Swiss owner was never released. There was an article published one year ago in a French magazine (Retro Course n° 26) on the car where the Brazilian connection was indicated. Mind you, the car now fitted with a BMW engine is said to be very original. When was the last time you saw an RP6 in period with a BMW 2002 engine ?
