It seems probable that some time around the early 1970s the majority – if not all – of the rebuilt, modified and developed car was scrapped while its chassis plate and registration identity survived. Mr Dick Skipworth acquired this identity/entity from Ron Scoma to join his growing Ecurie Ecosse Collection in the late 1990s. It all arrived “…as a pile of bits in a packing case” – most crucially providing the original Ecosse Le Mans Sprite’s chassis plate, serialled ‘AN5 47402’. As Dick Skipworth relates: “Lynx remade the aluminium hardtop and bonnet while I rebuilt the rest. So now we have a car that absolutely looks the part, has the right numbers, but is a re-creation of that 1961 Le Mans Sprite entered and raced by Ecurie Ecosse “.
