    72 JLP RSR and Fabcar Porsche powered VW bus

    Hello,
    I am looking for any information about John Pauls 1972 s that was converted to RSR spec in the mid to late 70s. The car was order by John and then later fitted with RSR flares, bumpers, and 3.0rsr tail. The car also had a motor from a 3.0RSR, RSR suspension, and 917 brakes. The vehicle still has the flairs and is original paint. I am looking for any information on when this could have been done and anyone who has any information on it.

    The Fabcar bus was built in the late 90s by Fabcar for Charles Slater. The bus started as a 1967 21 window bus and has been fitted a 993 VarioRam motor, full tub Fram chassis, and many Porsche suspension modification etc. Looking for any information on the bus, Slater's relationship with JLP, and if anyone knows of these cars ever being together.

    If you have any information on these two cars and the Paul family's relationship with Charles Slater it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
