So, perusing around the car I'm restoring at work... not gonna say which, but it ends with a 7, I found this old unused sticker underneath one of the floors. It appears to be a driver registration sticker from back in the early 70's.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm6.staticflickr.com-9714-1434456358.1.jpg)

It asks for driver name, blood type, most recent tetanus shot, and something else that is obscured with dirt (I'm afraid to clean it) in both German, and English.

Does anyone have any idea what this sticker was used for back then? This thing definitely pre-dates me by a couple (many) years. My best guess is that it was given to a driver to put on his helmet as he went through tech inspection, like they did in the SCCA back in the 80's.

You mean the two trays that sat outside of the center of the car, over the rear wheels?

ACO required a Luggage compartment for all racing cars, as part of rules homologation.

You're gonna have to try harder than that. Haha

Bingo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Yeah, they were supposed to function as a regular ole STREET USE sports car or coupe, etc. - even prototypes like the "XX7."
