The chassis was later converted to F5000 spec with a 5-litre Ford V8 and entered in 11 events in the 1970 Guards European Formula 5000 Championship driven by Fred Place but was not very successful. The following year the car missed the F5000 season as it had been stolen along with a spare engine, but the chassis was later recovered.[5][6] The car has since been restored to its original form with a similar Alfa Romeo V8 to its intended powerplant, and appears regularly in historic racing.
