IANHEB should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Chris,
It would appear that after some digging 25-01 was the car that went to Tony Martin in 1974.It was then used by Fogg,Ivor Raasch (who put the whole back end into an Escort spaceframe type of special saloon !!) and then Alan Macdonald who put it back together with a BDG and did 1 or 2 races at the end of 1979.The current owner bought it from him.
2 and 3 were retained for 74/75 by Lexington and driven by Tunmer and Von Hage.In 76 they went to the Domingo family as Atlantic cars and John Nich. drove one in Cape Town.They were then sold to Mel Lahner.In 1980 Andrew Thompson undertook the conversion of both cars to Mazda rotary engines and the chassis numbers were recorded .Tilanus,Ziman,Lahner and others drove during 81/82.He then bought the cars from Lahner approx 1983 and semi restored 03 with a dummy engine for display in the Hiedelberg motor museum.02 was retained and fully restored in 1998 for Gary Dunkerley but has recently been sold on locally.
Hope this helps
Ian
