Correct. He sold to the mystery person who in turn sold it to Trojanman in CO.

It's Steve Abrams. Now lives at Liesure World. His next door neighbor is Robert21.

It was great to see Steve again.

I remember Steve driving the hell out of his 2liter at the El Toro auto cross. Someone asked if he had a six in it. "Nope, 2L type IV". Glad to see him back. I think he worked for Aase (sp) Brothers for a while.

IIRC he was driver of the year; when I saw him in Seal Beach, he was diving the Leisure World shuttle van. He is still a P-car owner; said he has a Euro spec '78 (?) Carerra and goes to the C & C in Tustin Saturdays.

Boy where has time gone? I've not heard of nor seen Steve for about 15 years now.

Last time our paths cross was at the El Toro events.
Steve was a quick driver too.
