Aussie E30 M3 pics wanted
A few of us are trying to piece together the history of the JPS/Mobil M3s and need your help. If anyone has got good pics of the cars in the 87, 88 seasons could you please post them. If you've got a pic to add, can you please let us know which meeting it's from. If you've got anything with more than one M3 in the same pic these are also very helpful.
The Viacard car of Crowe, the Cardinal Network car of Crowe/Tulloch (maybe the same car) is of interest as are the Sax Racing M3s (red, black, yellow livery) as we think they may have been my car. We believe there may have been 5 or 6 M3s built and we're trying to confirm this.  Over to you far more knowledgeable enthusiasts. Thanks, David Last edited by David Towe; 12 Jun 2008 at 09:38. |

Thanks guys, I've seen that thread and contributed to it. The problem is that it doesn't follow and prove the ownership details of each of the JPS built cars. By that I mean, there were originally 2 JPS M3s built, one from a converted 325 and another from an M3 shell. I believe the converted 325 was used right up to ATCC round 7 at Sandown on 7th July 87, but I'm trying to confirm it. When JPS had finished with these 2 cars who did they go to? When did JPS sell them and what hapenned to the replacement cars when they were used up?
NAC that photo was taken at Sandown turn 4 in 2006< i'm after pics from the 87 or 88 seasons that may show soem detail. I do appreciate your efforts though. I need to see a full results sheet for Sandown 500 in 87 and 88, can anyone help? |

Fantastic stuff malscar, you've just confirmed to me that Jim drove my car for at least the first 3 rounds of the championship.
#43 and 57 are also my car. The strut tower was replaced and the floor still bears the scars of this crash at Forest's Elbow. Many thanks again. David |
