Any other info? Looks like it's a 47. No lip under the front and has wider rear wheels too.

Period coolness! Thanks for posting, Lou.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

47GT-58, the entry at Sebring was by Elsco BMW, and it is listed as running the BMW motor along with a sister car (#70).  I wonder where it is today.
