P1005 like its sister car P1004 was prepared by SAI for the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1965 but was entered by the Scuderia Filipinetti. It retired after 3 hours of racing. the car was sent back to FAV and stored until the end of 1966. It was then sold to a privateer and changed hands a dozen time until the mid 1070s. It has been raced from time to time mostly in club races in England. 1005 was seen in the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch in 1967 still with its original nose. in 1968 1005 was seen racing with a body in the style of P.Hawkins lightweight AMGT2.  The car has been completely destroyed in the fire of the garage of its last owner Salt Walther.
