is the model-car shown below actually modeled after a real Race-Car and if so, who drove it and when?

anyone know anything about this car (no, not the model one, the real thing is what i'm interested in) ....

Jägermeister and machinery don't mix too well, even tho i have AFLAC, I'm not too interested in collecting money from getting a finger or 2 caught in the lathe

Have you spoken to the owner of the orange Jägermeister car that is local?

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 6 2004, 11:36 PM

yes, briefly. his is a replica ...

Ask the drivers of our local Jag/GT on Sat.

Nancy Bishop or Paul Siedal-Smith I think.

Maybe it's a "what if" model?? It has Garretson Enterprises decal on the sail and Carson Body Works, Palo Alto on the doors.

Who made the model? is it a Pauls?

Posted by: Gustl Oct 7 2004, 06:08 AM

as far as I know, this model was sold via eBay just a few days ago
if I remember correctly, it was described as a PIT

So long,

I would say the car is the Automotion/Garretson autox car. Same body, flares and wing.

But I've never known it to have that paint job.

And I didn't know someone made a model of it.

Where is the real car now? Anyone know.

Another famous missing 914.

I thought all the Jagermeister cars were Orange.
However, I have looked that shade of blue after too much Jager the night before.

The link above says Max Moritz racing ran the 934 & 934 Jagermeister liveried cars in 1976. That would probably be a good place to start your research. I don't know if anyone from there is still around or not.

today is your lucky day!

this is a pic of the original "77" Jägermeister car at the track ...
as trekkor mentioned, our very own club-members Nancy & Paul have a Replica of that car that they drive at the local bay-area PCA events ...

here's the rundown on the original car:

- this is the ex-Max-Moritz-Auto (Quist/Göring/Krumm) from 1971

- 72-73 run by Schimpf (picture is from that period)
note that the targabar, roof and windshieldframe were "condagrün " at the time!

- 73+ Laub/Mohr ran the car under the original Max-Moritz color "condagrün"
Laub then sold the car to the USA. current location unknown.

- VIN: 914 143 0178

Maybe helpful for research:
Klaus Moritz is the boss of a Porsche dealer in Reutlingen, Germany.
There it says "Max Moritz Sportscars Ltd."

http://www.porsche-reutlingen.de/de/default.htm

The text says "Our name is an obligation" (maybe a poor translation )

So, I'm sure that Klaus Moritz is the son of Max Moritz, and maybe he has useful infos ...

So long,
