It's me again!! Each time I turn a page in my 635 file I find another snippet which helps with a previous query. This one relates to the Sytner/BMW GB car.To recap this car was the original Eggenberger built car which Frank had owned,it eventually passed into the hands of Graham Lorimer having earlier been race by ex-motorbike ace Graham Crosby/Lew Mckinnon.Lorimer rebuilt the car using some replacement bits from the destroyed ex-Schnitzer car of Kent Baigent.He ran the car in'86(its debut being that years Sandown Park 500)and in '87.The car was chassis number RA001. The destroyed donor car was chassis #35 ex- BMW Technik/Schnitzer which Baigent bought via his Keneal Promotions company. I have no idea of this 'hybrid' cars whereabouts now but am pretty certain it did not race again after Pukekohe'87.
