Description
1971 ZEBRA COSWORTH GP6 Chassis No. 001 • One-off prototype (chassis 001), exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971 • Known history: owned by its first driver, Jacques Boillat, with numerous race entries up to 1979 (including the 100 Meilen von Hockenheim in 1973) • Fitted with a Ford Cosworth FVC engine built and prepared by the renowned specialist David Gathercole, mated to a Hewland FG400 gearbox • Part of the collection since 2006, entered in historic racing events (Lédenon, Le Vigeant) and accompanied by a 2007 FFSA technical passport (now expired) A true testament to the golden age of European sports prototypes in the early 1970s, the Zebra embodies the ingenuity of artisanal manufacturers dedicated to pure performance. Developed in Switzerland to tackle circuits and hillclimb events, this competition barquette is based on a rigorous design centred around an aluminium monocoque structure. Unveiled to the general public at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, this chassis 001 holds a special place in the history of Swiss motor racing. The example we are presenting here has a continuous provenance dating back to the period. Acquired by its first owner and driver, Jacques Boillat, he retained the car and regularly entered it in races throughout the decade, right up until 1979. Among its many racing engagements was its participation in the 100 Meilen von Hockenheim in 1973. Added to the current collection in 2006, the car continued its career on French circuits in classic racing events, notably tackling the technical tracks at Lédenon and Val de Vienne (Le Vigeant). It is now fitted with top-class mechanics: a Ford Cosworth FVC engine built and prepared by the renowned British engine specialist David Gathercole, a leading expert in Cosworth engines, mated to a Hewland FG400 gearbox bearing the number FG400-73. Accompanied by its FFSA technical passport issued in 2007 (now expired), this Zebra Cosworth will require the usual checks, a mechanical service and an update to its safety equipment before returning to the track. Boasting a pedigree dating back to the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and a prestigious competition-spec engine-gearbox combination, it is a prime choice for historic racing events. 1971 ZEBRA COSWORTH GP6 Chassis No. 001 • One-off prototype (chassis 001), exhibited at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show • Known history: owned by its first driver, Jacques Boillat, with numerous race entries up to 1979 (including the 100 Meilen von Hockenheim in 1973) • Fitted with a Ford Cosworth FVC engine built and tuned by the renowned specialist David Gathercole, mated to a Hewland FG400 gearbox • Part of the collection since 2006, entered in historic racing events (Lédenon, Le Vigeant) and accompanied by a 2007 FFSA technical passport (now expired) A true testament to the golden age of European sports prototypes in the early 1970s, the Zebra embodies the ingenuity of artisanal manufacturers dedicated to pure performance.
