A replica I understand from an interview with him re his car collection... Replica is probably the wrong word, as it seems to be a genuine factory built one of 11 factory (?) replicas as opposed to the genuine Le Mans car. Very nice though and no doubt very valuable. Stunning collection he has.

There are ‘replicas’ and then there are ‘replicas’!

Not unusual pre-war for FN and others to market a copy of a Le Mans car as a ‘Le Mans Replica’. My Dad had a ‘Brooklands’ Riley, but don’t think it had ever been near the place! Porsche stuck some Martini stripes on a 924 & called it a ‘924 Le Mans’, which was a very tenuous link.......

Bauble, please, do you know what is the car in "See Red" last pic, wearing #2?

The colour scheme suggests it has to be Lance Reventlow car, but it doesn’t match any Scarab that I’ve seen over here..... (But it was over here.... )

Mike Bell · 20 Dec 2019, 12:51 (Ref:3947710)

Really like the TOJ in #796, especially in that iconic Warsteiner livery. For a long time I pronounced it ‘TODGE’, before someone suggested it is ‘TOY’. Can’t see why it should be, but sounds better....

An acronym of ‘Team Obermoser Jörg’, apparently, after the German Driver who started the team and built the cars.

#784, the post with the link.

rbs · 20 Dec 2019, 13:36 (Ref:3947720)

I think it is a Kellison JR4.

I think you’re right! Richard Tyzak in a JT Fiscar race? The Kellison coupés were more dramatic looking......

Gerard, google Kellison Sports Cars.

I do not recall seeing a coupe race, there was one on show at FOS one year though.
Sure I have seen Joe Twyman & Miles Griffiths race a Kellison a few years ago. Was it the same car? I do not recall those wheels.

Gerard C · 20 Dec 2019, 14:19 (Ref:3947728)

Merci Mike, I'll have a go for sure!

Whats your opinion about pic 5 # 775?

Merci rbs, sorry the ref to "See Red" was not clear but you know bauble, when he sees red, he sees red!!!

Never saw this TOJ before tho.

Gerard C · 20 Dec 2019, 14:25 (Ref:3947730)

Mon Ami Robert, is it a coincidence if this thread was stopped for a moment after # 776

. Comme un moment de beauté éternelle suspendu �* un fil invisible… So romantic!

There are period pics of a car with them, but most have more normal alloys!

For you Gerard- a coupé..... https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24809/lot/180/

It’s a Maserati 151/3 , Gerard, as is the car in last pic, but different year spec....

Think Obermoser only built a few TOJ sports racers. That the best looking one! We get the odd one with DFV in CER.....

Gerard C · 20 Dec 2019, 14:32 (Ref:3947734)

Merci encore, Mike! A little bit between Batmobile, Panoz and Dodge way before the two last appear. This one went for little money and it was last year.

They were a fibreglass kit car (no offence meant) I believe, originally using Corvette C1 oily bits. Certainly dramatic!

Yves is a really a nice person, very fast and always a gentleman when he drives his Capri. He was really impressive in the wet with his Daytona Grp4 and fast with his B16 too. May be not the fastest of the four bros tho…

morninggents · 20 Dec 2019, 15:09 (Ref:3947740)

That Kellison was really cheap even for a fibreglass kit car. Maybe a 0 dropped as a typo.

This one is for you RBS, no clues, just a little puzzle for you to solve. Should it not prove easy I will give you a notion of what you are looking for.

bauble · 20 Dec 2019, 16:42 (Ref:3947749)

A variety to lust over;

rbs · 20 Dec 2019, 16:47 (Ref:3947751)

Could Post 820 all be taken at various parts of Luffield.

bauble · 20 Dec 2019, 16:51 (Ref:3947752)

A little nostalgia never hurt anyone, a few cars with character;

Maybe RB but it is somewhat more sophisticated than that,
