Dulon LD11P Porsche engined Sports racer

This car is quite well known, even the history is via connections with the Porsche Club in the UK.
There was an article in 1993 in the PCGB magazine with a lot of details (which i have just recieved), but I believe the car is raced 'today' by Keith Martin for example in 2005 at SPA.

I am keen to see some detailed shots of the chassis or other tech details.
A contact route to Keith Martin would be a bonus.

I have recently built a similar car and would like to compare notes so to speak.

Fingers crossed!

Graham.

Aaargh! Did it ever have Skoda or Karmann Ghia Special Saloon bodywork?

No no, do not frett, I will NEVER do another hybrid/freaky Sports Racer!
God, the Lola is bad enough.

The interest is simply that it was done before all those years ago with a 2 litre flat 6 and a 901 box.
At least I think that's the spec.

Found quite a bit on it recently and it seems the car was bad/good etc over several years.

Would be interesting to see it!

Of course, then there was this one:

The re-paint of my trusty 911 Hot Rod is next, then there is my Lambretta TV 175 Series 3....

Clive:
Just a cut-down flyscreen!

The is a big article in an old Porsche Club magazine that I now have copies of which shows the car with a little flat 6 and 901 box. It raced a lot in high level races but was not too successful.
Be nice to see it in the flesh as it is out there somewhere

In period, the best shots I've seen of it is being pushed away off track!

My key interest is to see how he did the exhaust manifolds as it looks as cramped under there as my Lola.
A look at the car would be great. Do you have a contact at all?
