    re the patches on Jo's race suit -

    The original shoulder patch is likely to be Hinchman,the UK makers of the suit and the front patch looks like a Gulf one.
    Maybe he taped it over for a GP race for BRM - IIRC their oil contract was Shell.
    By 1971 you think he could have owned at least 2 suits - one for GP and the other for sports cars !

    Karim,
    At one stage Jo was rumoured to be talking to Ferrari for a works contract in F1 and sports cars.
    This move was not in Porsche's best interests,so they 'assisted' to place him in a GP team.
    Unfortunately for Jo,the best that could be done was the second tier BRM team.
    Also remember this was the start of the era when the top drivers drove FI only.
    Both he and Pedro showed flashes of their potential but the front line teams of Lotus,Ferrari,Tyrrell and Brabham
    ruled the top podium step in Jo's 1970/1971 BRM years.

    1970 914-6 - materialised from the 'Lotto' garage into reality
    1971 2.2 911 S - now back in the UK - sob!
    1975 Carrera Targa (ROW) - missed.
    One of us is fast becoming a valuable antique.
