    Or Bobby Unser 1965 Lotus/Chev Or Bob Montana 1963 Lotus Mark XI Valiant (wrong series #, later helmet?) Or Dan Morgan 1966 Lotus/Ford but these are the only 1960s records I see in Pikes Peak records. Unfortunately, their records on the web only show the class winners, so if it someone else, it will require more digging. No matter which, this would be a great "period History" vintage car.

    Edit: 70 cc might be a bit too small, even or an Abarth. Make that 750!

    All save one are very light, of course. Abarth and Lotus domnate. His crazy 70 club special. Seven very near the end. The interview with the man is worth the view.

    As they said back in the day, "Far out, man."

    "Does anyone know where I can get the correct color BRG touch up paint and a fuel sender gasket? " Put the bonnet in the Tacoma and head over to your local automotive paint supplier. They will mix and match till the touch up is just right.

    "I'll do a proper video cut of the unveiling and such in a week or so." So many delays, but ever the optimist. Great. You've got to do something about that driveway. You'll get the tires dirty!

    Could not have much worse that the last Toyota Pickup I sold. 38 years old; son spun and crashed every corner; so I put on a Ford Ranger grille (zip ties). Mechanic straightened the hood to work perfectly, new headlight buckets and tail lights. No dent repair. Perfect for driving to the job. The union lads could not hurt it.

    I hope by bottled water, you meant Holy Water. Or at least distilled. Spring water may contain minerals.

    Send me a PM if you can get to NW Dallas. I have a regular S3 Birkin, but don't think it would significantly different from a Cat in terms of fit. You are one step under me in all dimensions, so I'm guessing no problem.

    Great looking car. Looks like the lady is a keeper too.

    Some Croc might want to get one of these. Hurry. https://link.caranddriver.com/click/29804793.9021/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FyYW5kZHJpdmVyLmNvbS9uZXdzL2E0MjA2MjUzNi9ibXctMzAtY3NsLXJldmVhbGVkLWRldGFpbHMvP3NvdXJjZT1ubCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPW5sX2NkYiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJmRhdGU9MTEyNjIyJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1ubDI5ODA0NzkzJnVzZXJfZW1haWw9Yzk4MjNjNWUxMzA0Yjk2N2M5N2YyZmQ5ZjFjMjU1ZDM0MmI4MTU4OTBkMWFlMzU0OWIxOGFkYmM4NWUyZWU4Nw/586d9a6399964a474e8b456dD223f2ebb

    Don't know if this is somewhere in the list above. On the Locost site: http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=20774&sid=58ae693d6ef398166411a44e1aa7f349

    Doctor, thank you for sharing the photos. It's nice to see a Birkin being used so well. Here's to many more trips around the mountain.

    Just went T or T with the grandsons. Wish I had seen this earlier. Great work.

    #1 rule to avoid backing accidents: Don't back! Anyway, as long as you keep the hand brake adjusted, it's easy enough to push back if need be.
  16. panamericano
    Looks like a really nice build. Should be fun. I especially like the way they angled the exhaust out.
  17. panamericano
    Are you getting excited? When are we going to fire that baby up?
  18. panamericano
    Yeah, I've known people that fill the crankcase with diesel for a while, then changed the oil. Anyway, back in the day, when there were dedicated VW shops around, the rebuilds were quite cheap. Now you're lucky if you can find a mechanic (excuse me, technician) that knows them at all.

    I could hook you up with Gordon. Anyway, having a RHD Peugeot engined car, I am happy to see another that is outside the norm. If it's largely 124 based, I should think the hard parts will be available and cheap. Go, man, go!

    Congratulations. Nice to see another wonderful Birkin.
  21. panamericano
    Good job on the repairs. I wonder if some of the damage was done as it was dragged out of the scenery?

    First photo: great shot of the tire treads! Cooling off the bottoms.

    Boo on the 15%. History is the most important thing on an old racer, and they don't have much. The price might end up low enough for someone to then do the detective work. Or wait till it doesn't sell at this auction and then go find the owner to deal direct.
