WTB: Complete PDF copy of Sports Purposes Information document (2nd edition)

[matteo68]

This is the one dated May ‘71 which I need for my ‘72 2.5ST HTP-certificate project car.

However if there’s a later one for 1972 which I’m not aware of, I would be very grateful to receive a copy of that.

Thanks.

I’ve obtained a copy of the 2nd Edition of the Sports Purposes Information now.

However I have decided that my ST project is going to be an exact copy of the GeLo Racing Team M491 car as entered in the 1972 Le Mans 24hrs and driven by George Loos, Jean Sage and Franz Pesch (car #44 / chassis no. 911 230 0955). It didn’t finish unlike the Keyser Toad Hall car, but as my donor car was originally Tangerine, and the GeLo car was delivered from the factory in Tangerine and ran at Le Mans in this colour with yellow front bumper and hood, this is how my car is going to be. I am also going to obtain an HTP certificate for it, hence the need for it to be 100% period-correct, with as many other original parts as possible.

If anyone has any photos of this car, whether internal or external, as it ran at Le Mans, so I can build up as clear an idea as possible of it, I would be hugely grateful.

To date I have only been able to find this one on the Loos Racing.de website but I am trawling the internet, YouTube and other resources and am also trying to find out who took this photo with a view to trying to contact them to see if they have any more.

I’ve been kindly supplied with a link to some great external photos of the car at Le Mans on Motorsport Images website by a DDK member which I have never seen before, so that’s really good but wondered if anyone was aware of any other similar motorsport archive websites I could trawl through at all?
