Dr. Mark Brinker's Devin-Panhard

Dr. Brinker raced this car at the 2004 Monterey Historics.  He's interested in its history.  Does anyone remember "Team (or Ecurie) Escargot"?  
 

From Mark:  "I was hoping you would put a few photos of my Devin Panhard on your Mystery Car Page as I am trying to uncover the history of the car. The car was found in a warehouse near the Denver airport in the late 1980s and was purchased by Bob Pass of Passport Transport."

 
"The car was restored and sold at auction to a doctor from Pittsburg. Later (1999) I bought the car from the doctor."

 
"The photos are of the car as found in the late 1980s. One clue to its identity may be the snail painted on the side of the car (Ecurie Escargot?)."

 
"When the car was restored many prior paint colors were uncovered including 2 shades of blue, red, and white.  I hope someone can shed some light on my car's history."
