SL76/141 was delivered to Ulf Norinder, who qualified 5th overall on the car’s debut at the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona. A month later, the car contested the 1969 12 Hours of Sebring, sporting the red and blue colours of the Valvoline. Throughout 1969 and 1970, continued to compete internationally, participating at events including the 6 Hours of Brands Hatch, 1000km di Monza and the 1000km of Buenos Aires. The car was sold to Solar Productions in May of 1970. The car was dressed as a Porsche 917 and used in a crash sequence in the filming of Steve McQueen’s iconic film ‘Le Mans’. The damaged chassis was sold by Solar Productions later in the year to US-based German Hermann von Wolfe.
In 1983, it was acquired by Mac McClendon, who later sold the car to Eric Muller in 1997, commissioning McClendon to restore the car to its former glory. Over the following years, SL76/141 continued its journey through the hands of various collectors and enthusiasts, including LFR Racing Ltd, Hudson Historics, and Tom Minnich. In 2007, the car found a new home with the Bryant family, with marque specialist Clive Robinson charged with its ongoing preparation. The Bryant family have campaigned the car for over a decade, achieving wins at Spa and several podium finishes at the prestigious Le Mans Classic. In early 2024, the car underwent another full rebuild in the capable hands of specialist Clive Robinson.
Despite being extensively restored over its lifetime, chassis SL76/141 has an unbroken chain of ownership since new, as supported by evidence in its extensive history.
