| David Love describes his
car's history:
"The first owner was Jaroslav
Juhan (now 83 years young and living in Geneva). He contacted me
after seeing a photo of the car in a European
He was a friend of Ferrari and at Ferrari's request for LeMans, the car was painted blue. Six hours fron the start and in the rain, his co-driver and Jay Chaberlain's Lotus came together under the Dunlop bridge. The car was returned to the factory for repairs and was repainted red. At this time, Juhan decided to retire and had the car shipped on consignment to his friend in Southern California, Vasek Polak. It was sold to George Keck
in Seattle (?) but before that, it was driven at
Del Mar by Jack McAfee. The listed "owner' was Stan Sugarman. When
I told Juhan that story, It was obviously the first he had heard it. Laughing,
he said something about Vasek and profit..."
