There isn't a pic of Pekka's car but under that is a pic of red ford... my fenders were red so they might have been on Kalle Jokinen's car? Sold fenders to a local ford enthusiast. |
Slightly OT here: The Kalle Jokinen car in the above link and this picture
http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-08-24-063.jpg are not only of the same car, but a photoshopped version of the exact same picture! Details of the car and the track surface and background are all similar to me.
The racingsportscar picture are of Dane Benny S. Christensen, who had at one point had a 3.2 BMW straight six turbo engine installed. Don't know when he started racing this car, but by 1982 he was there, but faded away as the decade progressed and a new car emerged from his work shop, this time an M3. I think most of the Danish "Zakspeed" cars where look-a-likes only, but not info emerged at the time.
http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-08-24-nv4.jpg - This is Henning Petersen from the same meeting and racing a Mampe/Zakspeed look-a-like, here racing with a 2 litre 16 valve BMW engine. Fast forward to 1997 or 1998 it's most current owner Preben Jessen had a 3.5 BMW M88 engine in the thing, and as late as 2003 he complained that the frame was built too high at the front, upsetting the handling. I think 2004 was the last time it was raced, sounding beautifully when running proper.
