I sold 2216T ("Kermit") in 2010. I sold the car to a dealer and he subsequently sold it to a collector. I have no idea who now owns the car or where it is. I was sorry to see the car leave the vintage racing scene. It was extremely quick – only the Porsche 911's (and not all of those) were faster. Unfortunately, the economics of retirement do not support racing.
