As far as I know, Amon didn't drive the N177, or am I wrong?

Do you also want to adjust the mirrors again?
I think these are even more angular on the N177 and have a flat side outlet.

Yes...you are right both comments. This is Ensign N176

That`s the reason the "castle" is still in primer. It is from N177

Nice to see you building another Ensign. I prefer the 1977 car, but this one is also looking great.

This picture was taken by my uncle at the Nürburgring in 1976. Amon's Ensign is just being pushed away as Amon said, he wouldn't participate at the restart. Unknown to those who witnessed this moment it was the end of Amon's F1 career. Two days later he announced his retirement.
