    reborn of the 2.14 RSR Turbo 1974 Protoype

    Dear Members,

    I cannot resist to share the first pics of this reborn. After years of ignorance, the very first 2.14 RSR Turbo is back on wheels. Months of meticulous work done by Crubile Sport (engine,gearbox, suspension, etc.) and Garage Bourgoin (body, interior and paint).
    This first of a kind, this first prototype of the Turbo race car has been brought up to life again Tuesday May 24th.

    update - June 28th
    Thanks to KJ Gunnar for the history.
    The below car was initially built from a RSR chassis as a prototype, then the chassis was put back in its original condition. All the specific parts developped for the 2.14 (engine, gearbox, body parts etc...) were kept aside and are now back on another chassis (but still period correct). This is very original (but the cigarette lighter Marco).
    This is very well done work.

    I'll try to put some videos.
    Pics are done by Bourgoin, the driver is Crubile.

    This one is the first one, the prototype that was used to build the others.

    The track is Lurcy-Levis, right?

    This car will certainly be very impressive during the night at LMC.

    Fantastic car, and historically fundamental as well!
    Can't wait to see the video.

    Marco, yes it has. Do not know if it is the original one. I would fancy a cigarette after a test session
