Hi - JD Classics in the UK have for sale a rhd 914 that they say is a genuine Crayford conversion. Registration number is NRX 538K. The car started life in the US and then was exported to Australia (doesn't say when) where the conversion was done. JD say that it is one of only 9 cars that were converted by Crayford. From the research I have managed to do it sounds like this cannot be true. I have asked for some proof of their claim but they have gone quiet. Could this car however have been converted under licence using genuine Crayford parts or is it more likely to be a conversion just done by some garage in Australia as I understand quite a few cars were converted there in this way.

i think rusty french ended up owning one of those hamilton 935s. my old mechanic figgurat who has retired to NZ (and taken his 911 with him) used to work on that 935 when rusty was racing it in the historics about 20 years ago. figgurat also worked on my humble L jet. a great guy who never looked down his nose at my 914. figgurat worked for kremer when he was very young and worked on their 914/6 racer as the mechanic in germany. anyway we could always get into the rusty french garage down at phillip island thanks to figgurat. a lot of fun being in there while he warmed up the 935 engine. that thing was terrifyingly fast. |
