1971 ZEBRA COSWORTH GP6 Chassis No. 001 • One-of-a-kind prototype (chassis 001), exhibited at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show • Known history: owned by its first driver, Jacques Boillat, with numerous race entries through 1979 (including the 100 Meilen von Hockenheim in 1973) • Equipped with a Ford Cosworth FVC engine built and tuned by renowned specialist David Gathercole, mated to a Hewland FG400 transmission • Part of the collection since 2006, entered in historic races (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 racing barquette is built on a rigorous design centered around an aluminum 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 racing. The example we are presenting has a continuous provenance dating back to its original era. Acquired by its first owner and driver, Jacques Boillat, he kept the car and regularly entered it in races throughout the decade, 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 racing career on French circuits in classic events, notably tackling the technical tracks at Lédenon and Val de Vienne (Le Vigeant). It is now equipped with top-of-the-line mechanics: a Ford Cosworth FVC engine built and tuned by renowned British engine specialist David Gathercole, a leading expert in Cosworth engines, paired with a Hewland FG400 transmission bearing the number FG400-73. Accompanied by its FFSA technical passport issued in 2007 (now expired), this Zebra Cosworth will require the standard inspections, a mechanical overhaul, 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-transmission 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 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.
