 #375-2, the car Froilan Gonzalez used to win the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1951 and Ascari, the German Grand Prix, was sold to Louis Rosier in 1952. He raced it in Formula Libre events and won the Albi GP in 1953 & 53. Converted to a single seat sports car in 1953, it was taken to South America where Rosier came 7th, in the Buenos Aires 1000km, co driving with Maurice Trintigant In 1955, the car was sold to Ron Roycroft, in New Zealand. Roycroft rebuilt the car with a close copy of the Indianapolis 375 body.Roycroft raced the car with varying success in NZ until 1960. After languishing for some years, the engine was sold to Ernie Nunn, in Australia, for a hydroplane, and the chassis was used by local coachbuilder, Eric De Joux, to build a fibreglass bodied, Jaguar powered, GT car. In 1968, local, Gavin Bain, bought the GT, eventually recovered the original engine, and the car was rebuilt in it�s 1955 Roycroft configuration. Raced in various historic events in NZ & Australia, it was sold to Giorgio Perfetti, in Switzerland, in 1992.
