Crossle 62F History Needed
I recently acquired the Crossle 62F FF1600 that was raced by Fionn Murray in 1986.
The info I have on the car is as follows:
Car Model: 62F
Chassis Number: 62F.86.02
Previous Owners Names –
1986 – Team Murray – Raced by Fionn Murray
1987 – Pat O’Connell , Dublin
In 1989 it was then imported to the US by Continental Crossle and sold to Jim Roberts of Canada.
1991 -Bob Zaniewski – Ontario CA
Mark Hutchinson – WI - USA
Tim Webb AR - USA,
Fernando Licopoli – NY - USA,
I would like very much to know the history of the car when raced by Fionn Murray and want to restore/respray the car to match the colors and graphics of that time in 1986. I would appreciate all photos, records, history, etc that any of you may have on the car from that time.
Thanks very much in advance for your help,
John Holliday

crossle history
You may get some background in the archive section of the Crossle website: www.crossle.co.uk
Arnie Black of Crossle may be able to put you in touch with one of the Murray family for further info on the car & its history in Ireland.

Motormouth,
Thanks for the link to the Connelly site. I spent much time there and found some possible pics of the car. If you have others that show more detail, I would like very much to see them.
I did send an email to Arnie Black a couple of weeks ago and have not heard back from him yet.
Best regards to all,
John

Thanks again Motormouth,
That was an enjoyable clip to watch. I wish it would have included the end of the race.
My car was supposed shipped to Team Murray on March 15, 1986. It may have been the number 6 car in the You tube video. Do you by any chance know the date of that Kirkstown race?
I found the attached photos on the Con Connolly site. These cars are 62Fs.

When I find some time I'll put the rest of the race on You Tube. There may be some more of Fionn Murray.
