Subject: Re: Looking for a car's history
This special was built for the late Mr Ben Moles of Dublin by David Dunn with another for himself in the early 1990's from old saloons that had been broken up years ago as David had bought them for spares when he had EPE 97 that he restored from its Goodhew form to original spec. This was in the days before new engine parts etc were available as he started racing the old team car in 1974. I have a picture of the above 2 chassis with my own when we first started them. David had two 4 seater bodies built by Jack Buckley similar to the team cars but Ben's car had the body covered in fabric and painted black. It looked wrong with the fabric but the customer loved the finish. Good to know that its still on the road.
