Donnie Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Saw this on Ebay. For the 7 nut with too much time on his (her) hands.

Al N. Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 This is Dennis Ortenburger's cache. Does someone in the club feel like buying that for us? Might make a great raffle prize at a future national meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 not sure about as a prize, but maybe on display at the national get togethers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Great idea...so someone with as much disposable $ as love for our cars please win this for the club. Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandurath Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Wonder what it will actually go for. Thoughts on the value vs what it will go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandurath Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Is anyone planning on bidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locostv8 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If someone gets it I would be willing to scan and put on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandurath Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Not sure how many, if any would want to. I would be willing to make a donation toward a USA7 purchase of this after which it would be a great resource available to all. LocostV8 offered to scan it, that would be alot of stuff to scan. Not sure if any of this would be messed with due to copyright laws etc. Just seems a simple way to make the information available to all. Now, if a current member is wanting this, I don't want to bid against another either, no sense in driving up the price on ourselves if someone already is intending to do this.

slngsht Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've got my hands full with the watch purchase. We'd have to worry about copyright issues with scanning and putting it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I emailed Dennis O. to see if he'd donate it to the club. He was, to put it nicely, unreceptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandurath Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Heheh I saw his response, at least to the one on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I can't say I'm surprised that nobody's asked "So, do you have any factory press photo negatives in your garage?" Excellent stash, I would love to dig through that. Some of it has been reprinted (Brooklands has at least three books of reproduced road tests) but some will be pure unobtanium.

Boxologist Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 does anyone know who is bidding on this? is it someone for USA7s or the Lotus national club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well, the box of Ortenburger Seven stuff went for $1250.00, to a "Toby Griffiths" (eBay user name "griffithstoby"). Anybody know him? I was willing to go up to $425 for the box, but it shot way past that at he last moment, with two bidders arm-wrestling for it. Not a bad price for a neglected box of stuff that has been taking up space in yourgarage for 30 years... What happens to it now??

Boxologist Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 hopefully it will be coming to a LOG near u i was gonna toss a bid of 300 in but not that it would have made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 It looks like has a very nice 7 and that it was one of the funkey origional hard top versions. He can't be a bad guy he seems to enjoy Arches NP, David Bowie, ... It appears that he has met Mike Ostrov. You can run but you can not hide. Ahaa, the joy's of Google!
