Help Wanted with Van Diemen RF83

[Andy_Chezz]

I have recently bought a chassis, some body panels and 4 boxes of bits for an RF83 and am trying to find any documentation that will help me find out what bits I have and what I am missing. Is there such a thing as build manual or a parts list with diagrams available anywhere? I was looking to move from Mod Prod (class 3a) sprinting into something with more competition and this looked like a good idea at the time.............. Any help greatly appreciated.

Andy, a good starting point will be Ken & Simon and Universal Racing.

I have spoken to the guys at Universal Racing Services today. What a fantastic company! very friendly and a wealth of information and advice. They are going to send me parts list info + anything else they can find on the RF83.
However, it appears that Van Diemen didn't release much documentation for any of thier cars into the public domain, so build data and drawings are almost non existent.
To help me match the parts that I have with the info coming from URS, I would be interested in any photos that people have of the RF83 without it's bodywork on, specifally the FF1600 version of the car.
Thanks, Andy_Chezz.

I got in touch with Van Diemen, who have a historic arm run by Derec Wild. He provided me a bunch of copies of their build diagrams for my 79 car, his direct e-mail is at derek [derek@vandiemen.co.uk] .
