Description of the original vehicle: Finished in BP racing green, chassis 3767GT was originally owned and raced by David Piper, a racing driver who had competed in Formula One and Formula Two, but was disenchanted with single-seat racing and decided to move into sportscar racing with 250 GTO in 1962. Late that year, he scored outright wins at the Kyalami 9 Hours and the Angolan Grand Prix. At the onset of the following season, this car was sold to the United States, although Piper continued to co-drive with new owner Ed Cantrell on occasion. Following the 1964 Nassau speed week, it was retired from contemporary racing and came to be acquired by the current owner in 1974. In more recent years, it has been a regular in the Goodwood Revival. CMC replicated this right-hand-drive 250 GTO with a distinctive BP livery.
