Oh yes, you did; I can mail it to you again !!
I sent the list to people like Alain for comments, but anyway I'm not going to split hairs.
I am making the point that I had a list from Krecjis site that I amended and you now raise questions from!!
HU4 has no info so it is a mystery. However I think that JoBo kept the 1st 5 cars for his own team drivers and customers got the next built cars?
SO FAR NO ONE HAS FOUND hu4 CAR RACING !!
I made an educated guess at Osella having hu7 with Abarth engine as the car was used twice?
On Krecjis list, Osella had 3 cars but I think 2 are the Minel racing cars. I have tried to contact Osella directly for info but no reply yet. I even asked Italian historic racer for help but still no info yet
There are other records of Lola 290 Abarth running in later years and I have French hillclimb ( FIA round) with Italian driver in 290 Abarth. We do not actually know how many cars ran with Abarth engines. Even the Moser/Nicodemi car ran Abarth and Ford power and I await Mosers mechanic meeting Tonio to ask the question of the engine fitted to his car hu20 for TF 1972 race.
