Maurer F2

[Euromontagna]

I have info about Maurer MM86-006, it should be ex-S.Bellof, is it truth? Since 1987 raced in hillclimbs by Fendrich (still had the car in 1999 as I spoke to him)

Maurer MM83-002 - driven by Wenk in 1987

How many Maurers were made?

[driftwood]

maurers
i have a list of most of the 18 cars made from mm80-mm83 model
The cars raced in f2 but some later went to south africa to race with Mazda engines
most came back to uk/eec
then they raced in Interserie and Mountain races

[John Turner]

Well don't keep it to yourself then Drifty, or I'll have to park this in the main forum where it runs the risk of dropping out of sight!

[driftwood]

for now im keeping them under wraps i have selfish vested interest
when that has been satisfied then i will liberate!

Expect to see this quoted regularly during 2007!

[driftwood]

however cars where built in 1980 onwards at chevron factory after the 97 car failed to set the world a light with its perfomance
Willi Mauer was a german industrialist i think involved in the drinks industry
he was a mentor of Stefan Bellof a stunning debut in F2 in 1982 where he won the 2st 2 races and had "only finished 2nd? in the german fford c/ship the year before
Bellof went onto drive for Tyrrell and Porsche 956 cars
sadly killed in a Group C race
he was fearless which was sadly his undoing
see web www.stefanbellof.de/ has english pages

He was also the 1st guy to write off a 956 car as well in a previous race or test shunt

[driftwood]

Mr Brown i share many many things with you directly and here on the interweb but like u i am entitled to some "secrets" !!!
when i have created the "space" to satisfy my selfish vested interest i will oblige and gloat!
however i need to shift 1 or 2 vehicles to do this

drifty,
From a Kyalami January 1981 programme found this week..."Tony Martin will be driving the newly imported Maurer which lead twice Formula 2 races driven by Beppe Gabianni in the 1980 European Championship".Twice is probably a typo and was meant to read 'two'.
Ian

[driftwood]

2 MM80 went to ZA 1 is in Uk1 still in ZA
not the prettiest cars
MM81 82 far neater
just reading AS march 81 the MM81 is launched before anyone asks only 3 where built

[Chris Townsend]

Ian

Would that be the Highveld 100 at Kyalami, where Martin debuts Maurer MM80-04? [oh woops what a giveaway]

any chance of a scan of the entry list?

Chris

[driftwood]

car still in ZA

[Chris Townsend]

Drifty

I know it is...
I also know the chassis numbers of all the other Maurers that raced in South African F2

Chris

[driftwood]

i know all cars za uk eec races and where most the cars are today except the 1 want to buy

[John Turner]

Guys, this is not a competition! I know that 'Knowledge is power' but on here, it is only good if you share it. Since Drifty is playing hard to get, perhaps we could develop it into something worthwhile by asking you, Chris, to list those that raced in South Africa in F2.

[allenbrown]

Agree with what you say John but why should Chris go first. Why not Drifty? Chris has listed all he knows abot a model (in a very organised form) on many occasions.

[Bryan Miller]

We have one over here , has been for about 15 months.
Will go look out paperwork.Came out of Austria I believe.

Bryan.

[driftwood]

switzerland actually i dont think the guys want car talked about
why?

driftwood,

maybe I can help you.
If you are interested in one of the MM81 chassis, I know where two of them are. Maybe one is the thing you´re looking for.

[driftwood]

i know where mm81#1 is sitting in white livery- i cannot see the owner selling that car as it is on display
#3 i should have bought 18 months ago when it was in austria i never had the space in the garage 5 other cars in the way !

[funformula]

So #1 must be the ex-Elgh car.
The Austrian #3 must be the ex-Guerrero as the owner said it is the Thruxton winning car.
The ex-Winkelhock car is still in original yellow livery and must be #2.
Am I right?

[driftwood]

yes and 1 raced in Japan i thought it was still there until i had fotos given to me last year
3 i would buy when i have some space to keep the car in!
some cars need to go first

[Alan Brown]

In the Interserie races c.1985-6 Roland Binder had a car called a Persy BMW. Presumaably, this was a modified Maurer as it was said to be ex Stefan Bellof. Persy Motorsport was the entrant. Can someone please clarify?

[driftwood]

3 Maurers raced in Interseries Persy was 83 car
1 car had mazda in it called Start mazda im still waiting for that owner to tell me what model he had
2 or 3 ran on the euro mountains

[kurtiejjj]

Is there going to be any clarification regaring these cars ? I saw over on the other forum, that some cars went to the US to race in the FA, notably one MM80 and a MM81.

[Dan Rear]

Did they go the US? ZA definitelty, I wan't aware they went west too.
