That's such a great car. Would be nice to be insanely wealthy and have a few like this one.

If only the bonehead in the suit would get out of the shot.

The fan poking thru the top is pretty cool. Is that so if I hit a pedestrian they will fly up over my head and then it sucks them down like a garbage disposal and getting rid of the evidence?

That picture doesn't look right.

The flat eight in there proll'y went into Dan Gurney's F1 for the 1962 win at Rouen , France.

WOW.... I actually thought about doing that with my 914 v8 when the body finally rots away.... put the drive train in a Beck Spyder.

Nope. Two different cars (though possibly the same engine type). I saw them both at the Monterey Historics this year! Beautiful machines with a beautiful sound!

Why doesnt the rear fender line up with the bottom of the door like the front?

Neat car - here is a shot I took at the Monterey Historics

I think that was Christian Heins of Brazil at Spa. He survived this one. Wasn't so lucky at the '62 Le Mans in a Renault Alpine

The first car posted was called "Grossmutter", or "Grandmother". Evidently it was very competitive for a number of years after the chassis was built, making it a real "old lady". So they started calling it Grandmother.

Oh yes! what a beauty.......thanks for the shot
Fortunate fellow above!!!
