Hi DrDron, great to hear something from someone involved back then
. Indeed I did post on the Carribean forum (trinituner.com I think it was), I got some help there, which was helpful, because in the end I managed to contact Frankie Boodram. Back then I didn't know very well what exactly to ask for
But what I found out was the Frankie still has the front subframe of the car, the rest was apparently destroyed?? Could you confirm? I am still eager to find out! Because I still think there were two cars build by Hezemans, I'm pretty sure that one of them was the car Frankie used (athough I have read comments by people saying he drove a zakspeed escort??). Point is, the car Hezemans designed was a lot more extreme than the Zakspeed cars as far as I could see. Aluminium tubes (rollcage) everywhere through the lightened escort bodyshell, without those, the body would probaply have fallen apart.. On top of that a Hewland transaxle gearbox and it used the front brakes from a Porsche 917 if I'm not mistaken! Does that ring a bell?
Any chance you know a bit more of other interesting cars that raced back then in the 70s/80s in the carribean, I have some points of interest!
