Iemand vanop Automotiveforums heeft ook even met de eigenaar gepraat:

I spoke to the owner when he arrived after a [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]short [COLOR=blue !important]trip[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] on the public roads around the circuit.
He ownes it for 12 years, and bought it in racetrim from the team.
Then he converted it for road use and did some changes, like removing the roll cage, fitted steel brakes instead of carbon, fitted a hand brake and gave the interior a clear coat painting on the naked carbon.
The original racing seat which was used by Bellm, Weaver and Lehto is still inside but he covered it to make it a bit more comfortable.
Also he replaced the black strips inside on the doors for orange ones; better visibility.
The car stays in the UK, despite he lives in the US, and drives it a few times a year on public roads and some events.
Some pics, enjoy.

And some info I forgot to tell yesterday.
The owner also told that he bought the car with the wider and bigger [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Silverstone[/COLOR][/COLOR] rear wing, but replaced it for the smaller and better looking LeMans version when he converted it for road use.
We also had a some words about the brakes. He choose the standaard steel racing brake discs. I thought that in season '95 they raced with both the carbon discs and steel discs, depending on weather conditions and track. While in the '96 season they raced with the carbon discs only. Is it true? Because I remember (slightly) I've seen some old pics with the steel discs.
Anyway, these days it has the steel discs.

Btwn, note the colour difference from the wheel nuts, left / right.

Klinkt als een X5/X6 M (ook flat-plane twinturbo V8?) maar hoogtoeriger. Vind hem wel best geslaagd.
