Think the main car I associate Duxbury's name with in sportscars is the 'Kreepy Krauly' March-Porsche, which won the Daytona 24 hours in '84, and was also occasionally seen in Europe (Le Mans the same year?)
Was this a South African team competing in the US and Europe? IIRC, the money was certainly from South Africa (pool-cleaning equipment wasn't it?)

There were a few South Africans who appeared periodically in Europe in Group C- Duxbury, Sarel van der Merwe (occasional works Porsche drives), George Fouche (usually in Kremer 956s with 'Pretoria Brick' sponsorship
