There were 11 chassis built in total over the four years, six of the first version and five of the 2003 racer; two were wrecked in testing accidents, one had compromised carbon fibre. Only two cars have been sold to private collectors, Bentley retains all the other chassis, so this is likely to be kosher. The question is whether it is 004/5, the actual winner, or 004/4, the car with carbon problems that is generally used as a show car...........it was on display in the Le Mans museum during this year.
There is a book coming in the early part of 2020 which will tell the full story of this fabulous car
