VanDieman Formula first chassis pictures?

[Adrian Thompson]

Does anyone have any pictures or details of the old VanDieman Formula First chassis? Delving Google has had no luck, I can’t believe no picture exist out there? I recall it as being a fun formula and I liked the Terrapin-esc transverse engine and trans idea. It strikes me as a great formula for a simple home built single seater for autocross (I don’t know what it’s called in the UK, racing around cones in a parking lot). I think some have been used in the UK for sprints and hillclimbs, but again I can’t find any photo’s.

Thanks

I think it's the same car as Norwegian Formula Basic. Lots of photos here: http://formulabasic.com/gallery/

That does look like the old VD - I wondered where they all went to! Remember the chaos of the first few years, wasnt it 87 onwards? Some loons there - Kelvin Burt started off in them, and others like Rafael del Sarte.

That's it thank you. That's what I was looking for. Now I still want picture of the bare chassis or car with the bodywork removed. Anyone got any of those?

I think I may be able to let you have these indirectly.
My mates one was a brilliant car and I was lucky enough to drive it in a few sprints

I may have pictures of it part unclothed.

Bear with me as they are in Spain and i am back there this weekend, so will dig them out and scan them into my PC

Thank you, thank you. I'm waiting with baited breath!
