Re: EBay Finds

Undiscovered cars with any tangible link to the golden era of sports car racing must be few and far between and whilst I totally get your analogy of the Subaru future "finds" my nose for authenticity tends to err on the side of giving the benefit of doubt. We can only guess at the motives ...

Re: EBay Finds

Stuff like Frogeyes with any kind of competition history will be well documented, it is just a case of poring through race programmes, club newsletters and the so on.
