Auguste Veuillet #42, 1967

[gtgroupe3]

Greetings,

Does anyone have any pictures of the '67S (Auguste Veuillet, #42, drivers Buchet & Linge) that finished 14th overall and 1st in GT 2 at Le Mans in 1967? or any other information on the car as well.

The other two 911S were retired (#43 & #60) in the 1st & 11th hour.

Thanks,

Sumner

Sumner,

Here's some info from D. Pascal's 1984 'Porsches at Le Mans' book.

I don't see any info on the car from U. Upiez's 2002 'Porsche in Le Mans' book.

Sumner,

Pascal also tells us there was a 4th 911S #67 who was diqualified for an oil topping off infraction...

Not much around...
Found this pic in the Brain Long "Porsche 911 the definitive History 1963-1971"....... of the victory lap at the end of the race.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the posts. Sumner

This all the information that I have on the 911S which raced in '67. It may not be 100% correct since it is from a number of different data sources.

308176S, Team: Auguste Veuillet #42: Qualifying time 4m30.3 (Drivers: Robert Buchet/Herbert Linge), GT2000 (1st)

308101S, Team: Jacques Dewez: # 43: Qualifying time: 4m33.8 (Drivers: Jacques Dewez/Anton Fischhaber^/Jean Kerguen*/Vic Elford*) DNF: clutch

307823S, Team: Pierre Boutin: #67: Qualifying time: 4m38.6 (drivers: Pierre Boutin/Patrice Sanson/Sylvain Garant^), DSQ - early oil fill

911S, Team: Philippe Farjon #60, Qualifying time: 4m33.0 (Drivers: André Wicky/Philippe Farjon/Roland Lefevre^), DNF: Big end bearings

* Driver entered for car, but never drove it at meeting
^ Driver practiced car, but did not race it

This may be a stretch, but can anybody help ID the lower driving lights on #42 in the picture above?

Thanks,

Sumner

This may be a little late but perhaps someone can ID the logo on the driving light cover from this photo?

I think that is Cibie.

Those CIBIE stickers you can buy occasionally on ebay.com.

Could they be upside down Marchal covers?
