Resprayed in metallic grey with a gold stripe, it was modified progressively in 1967/68 to look like Paul Hawkins AMGT2 lightweight GT40. Prophet raced the car in England and in South Africa in 1967. He did the same in 1968 and added some European outings to it, like the 1000 km Spa and Nurburgring ( with R.Bond).
