Murgatroid should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Details/history sought 1986 Van Diemen RF86 FFord chassis 1041 history

HELP REQUESTED to facilitate an Australian CAMS Historic Log book/Cert of Description I am asking if anyone knows any early race history of this car 1986-1990 and onwards please?

Delivered to Azois Schmellmann (Switzerland) possibly via agent and I have no further history until purchased in UK 2007 via Mick Gardner M'sport UK who I understand was only the agent in this transaction on behalf of the (then) owner. Car has Van Diemen Heritage Certificate varifying and I have asked them to help also.

Car seems to have been extensively raced probably in England and I will throw in another name (R.Dean) but otherwise I am lost and need some help please.

Car can be viewed on www.ibcholdings.com.au/cars but doubt whether this will help as was originally white but since painted blue /yellow stripe as you will see ...

Contact Rob on email victoriainn@bigpond.com if you have any further details please.

Car is in Sydney - Australia.

Thanks

R.Dean is Richard Dean, you will be able to get hold of him at United Autosports.

THANK you Barry but really need 1986-1990 history so could do with a Bassett Hound or a member of the KGB to track all this down ... not easy an little co-operation available. Car will become a "coffee table" if details not found.

Your 2009 Jerez race engineer raced an RF86. Maybe he knows?

Richard's car shows the Jim Lee logo on the front. This was a team that ran from Birstal in West Yorkshire, former motorcycle specialist Jim ran a few local drivers including Scott Stringfellow and I think Tim Sugden was involved. Eventually when Jim died it was run by his son I think and then Richard took over and ran his teams from that base for years until he joined Ginetta.

I have communicated with Richard Dean (thanks) but his car had different chassis number. I have found Schnellman's email addresses (2) in Switzerland but so far has not replied after over a week. Could be away etc but it doesn't take much to press a few keyboard buttons ... or does it? HELP!!!

If you would like to send me the details you have so far of this chassis then i will post them on the fledgling www.goldenera-formulaford.com website asking for further info.

Either PM me or email on info@goldenera-formulaford.com

Hopefully this might generate some further info, after all that is the intention of the web site.
