Is the Scheldt and Pettet car still RHD or has it been restored back to LHD?
Craig, I'm as sure as I can be that the two cars in your photos are different cars.

CF3 was CF2 re-shelled into chassis 1716 (but the chassis number was not used for ID)
It's first incarnation was RHD (for Andy Dawson?), but later converted back to LHD.
The car still exists, but has been painted in an earlier CF colour scheme that it never had in period.
CF3 never had a roof scoop, and was always square arched.
CF3 used the chassis number of CF2.

The only damaged CF shell that was brought back to life was the CF2 tub (crashed by Cahal Curley in Ireland).
It turned up in Japan, and was restored back to it's 1975 works appearance. It was an original 1975 works Safari team car.

CF1 was also an ex works 1975 car (Pinto), but it's timeline is much easier to understand.
It was driven by Per-Inge Walfridsson, Tony Pond, Andy Dawson and Tom Pryce. Then crashed and died in flames.
As far as I know, it hasn't come back from the dead....... yet.
