The car was by C Fox rebuilded in T286 specifications , whose for models was builded to 1977 ....
other comment : why the car was rebuilded , after crash ?
why in T286 specifications , for FIA historics races standard ?

I don't think that is quite how Fox explained it to me...
He said that the car was in T286 specification when it came to them, so somebody else (Jolly Club) had already carried out this work. Given that, from memory, Jolly Club raced the car for a long time into the late 1970s, this would not surprise me.
