I still own the glassfibre lefthand door skin with the nr 30 on .
this car has probably been coverted to a circuit car .
Jaap Dik was never driving himself , he only was a co driver .
In the article posted by haman132 (no 28) you can read about the crash on the TAP-rally.
In those days the cars weren't equipped with a full roll-cage but just a rollbar over your head.
Because of the crash the front window shattered but nevertheless Rob decided to drive the car home (back to Holland) without a front window. After just a few miles the rear window blew out because of the built up pressure in the car. With the help of some skiing goggles he drove all the way from Portugal to Holland.
