Early Race chassis ident required..

[Guest]

Hiya,
ANybody recognise this chassis? I recently aquired this and it is 1971 body that I can track back to 1982 when it arrived in the UK. It apparantly was sold via dealer in Belgium as a 911E to a race team, and I am trying to find more history to this car as apparently this car body raced in Daytona in the 70's. (1976 or 77 we think)
This car in its current state also featured in the Sept 2004 Porsche&911 World magazine and the owner then ran into a wall regarding the history of the car tracing it back to 1982 as mentioned.
A few top peeps at Porsche GB have said that it looks like RUF modificatons, but nothing more and RUF dont have records from that period (or arent willing to comment due to that period of time was rather borderline legit for them).
Anybody seen this chassis before? Just curious as the guy wasnt a big internet whizz so I thought I'd try my luck here and see if any of you older guys MIGHT recognize the work from somewhere. Also I would love to get in touch with anybody who may have owned it whilst in the UK (several according to the V5 as it was passed from owner to owner as a project..)

I am originally from Belgium and my grandfather and subsequently my late father bought porsches since 1968: would you be able to pm (personal message) me which dealer sold to which race team? It is a fairly small world of porsche-enthusiasts and some of these people might still be alive and kicking around....


All the best,


Bert

Carsten, have you tried PMing Adam T on Pistonheads? He has close connections with RUF and may get something more out of Alois than you could. Interesting car - who's doing the work on it for you?...Anyone local to us?

Mark,
Long time no hear!!

Now theres a thought.. AdamT off PH.. I'll send him a mail and see if he can help. Its really annoying with this gap in history between 71 and 83 where it alledgedly raced and wore a slantnose and boxed arches.. I am trawling the internet and looking for as many pics I can from old races to fill out the history gap. (mind you..not really a hardship to look at several hundred retro racing pics of old 911's is it now?.. hehe)

Yea, the Caterham is gone as well... just not using it enough with my flying schedule, so have taken this on to enjoy.

Sounds interesting - I restored a 1972 F Series 2.4E way back in 1989 - not an easy task then - the early parts were hard to come by...I'd love to see the car - let me know when you're about and perhaps I could drop by?

Cheers
