Chassis 3869GT was eventually bought by gentleman racer Ron Fry in 1963. He campaigned the car very successfully in local events throughout 1963 and 1964. The subsequent owner continued to race the car, albeit briefly. Chassis 3869GT was retired from racing at the end of the 1965 season. Since then, it has had only three owners, and is only very rarely seen in public.
