Nothing is known about SL71/30 until 1969 when Umberto Maglioli, the famous Ferrari long distance driver of the 1950s and ‘60’s, sold it on to Dill Pell, an Englishman who took the car to New Zealand. He in turn sold it on to Jim Boyd, who scored several victories with it over the next two years.
In 1971, /30 was crashed at Timaru and then hit by an errant Corvette. It was sold to Baron Robertson who intended to rebuild it as a road car. Partially rebuilt by Travis McGregor, /30 was sold to Lex Emslie and then sold to Norm Masters/Brian Middlemass in Balclutha.
