904GTS t-top once owned by Vernon Covert

In the Marina Del Rey part of Los Angeles there used to be a Porsche shop run by Vernon Covert who told me he bought a 904GTS right off the racetrack at sebring for $7000 just when they were becoming obsolete for regualr racing. I since found a note on a site http://vactek.tripod.com/904chassisnumbers.html
with this description:

906 012 Porsche 904 GTS

1965 : 1000 Km Nürburgring - PeterNöcker/Günther Klass 6 OA. 1965 : 24 Hours Le Mans - Günther Klass/DieterGlemser DNF. 1966 : sold to Drolsom for 4000 $ without engine (see 904 013).1967 : Sold to Covert USA. Destroyed in racing (Elkhart Lake) was send back tofactory who replace the chassis. but now with 4 cams engine to Vern Covert.Driven back to California by road. Modified to T Top car with two removablepanels and fitted with 906 engine turbo charged. 2001 : sold to Asia. Accidentin Tour Auto 2002, repaired by S.H.K in Germany. Sold to England
So I didn't think Covert raced it, so who smashed it up? A subsequent owner? Did it get the same chassis number 906 012 when the chassis was replaced? What race team is runnng it in the UK? Thanks for any clues to what happened to it after Vern's ownership
