"Chassis FB3303 is the current chassis on the car with the Registration SC3206. However the car used to have Chassis ST3001, at which time the registration number was YH3196 (Old Mother Gun). When the chassis were swapped in the late 1980s all the components other than the axles and chassis were retained. The axles and chassis, which were from the Le-Mans car were used to build up the current Old Mother Gun car which now resides in Japan or China.
