ian beckett should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hans Stuck did race a car for Walter Brun in Jagermeister colours in the '84 German Production series(their version of the BTCC).The team ran two other cars for Brun himselfIWarsteiner)and for Mario Ketterer(Maxit).Two of the cars were brand new for the start of the season and were built by Eggenberger.I do not know the chassis numbers. Two cars were retained for 1985and one was sold to Rolf Goring(chassis number AF16849).This was then sold to Axel Felder who raced it in Germany in '86/7.Another car was sold to Kurt Konig at the end of '85 and Brun left touring car racing to concentrate on his splendid 956/962's.Remember that in Germany,Jagermeister is a legendary sponsor(you could write a book about the cars/drivers they have backed) and Stuck is held in very high regard so it would be the obvious colour/sponsor/driver combination for the museum to have.I amnot saying it is not a pukka car but it will have had a different racing life since Stuck ran it in '84! Incidentally,BMW sell an absolute gem of a version of this car in 1/18th scale,you can order it from any BMW dealers parts store.They also do the X-ray version.
