Crossle 62F History Needed
I recently acquired the Crossle 62F FF1600 that was raced by Fionn Murray in 1986.
The info I have on the car is as follows: Car Model: 62F Chassis Number: 62F.86.02 Previous Owners Names – 1986 – Team Murray – Raced by Fionn Murray 1987 – Pat O’Connell , Dublin In 1989 it was then imported to the US by Continental Crossle and sold to Jim Roberts of Canada. 1991 -Bob Zaniewski – Ontario CA Mark Hutchinson – WI - USA Tim Webb AR - USA, Fernando Licopoli – NY - USA, I would like very much to know the history of the car when raced by Fionn Murray and want to restore/respray the car to match the colors and graphics of that time in 1986. I would appreciate all photos, records, history, etc that any of you may have on the car from that time. Thanks very much in advance for your help, John Holliday |

I took a load of pics of Fionn in his Crossles.... gave most of them to Con Connolly and they are posted on his site. Have a look through these:

crossle history
You may get some background in the archive section of the Crossle website: www.crossle.co.uk
Arnie Black of Crossle may be able to put you in touch with one of the Murray family for further info on the car & its history in Ireland. |

Motormouth,
Thanks for the link to the Connelly site. I spent much time there and found some possible pics of the car. If you have others that show more detail, I would like very much to see them. I did send an email to Arnie Black a couple of weeks ago and have not heard back from him yet. Best regards to all, John |

Thanks again Motormouth,
That was an enjoyable clip to watch. I wish it would have included the end of the race. My car was supposed shipped to Team Murray on March 15, 1986. It may have been the number 6 car in the You tube video. Do you by any chance know the date of that Kirkstown race? I found the attached photos on the Con Connolly site. These cars are 62Fs. |

Hi My name is Sean Murray , Alan Murrays son I used to be at all the races with Fionn back in the mid 80's . I couldn't find any pictures on my computer but it was nice to see the ones on here I'll contact my uncle in Ireland I'm sure he could get me some pictures. I named my son after Fionn he was very special to me ,I live in the states just up north of you in Vermont .
