I bought the Grp.N shell in ´01 from Richter Motorsport in Germany. Don´t think they produced anyone later

She was finished in ´05 and i´ve covered 700 miles yet, as i don´t have the time

will post up pic´s later

Nice! Be happy you got a new shell... Cosworth ones are very rare and expensive. I'm glad to see you did a very tidy job with the new shell!

Greetings from good old Bavaria!

That's right. I don't like boot badges after all, thats why I throwed mine away as far as possible and IMHO these crome style badges don't look to good after all...

haven´t got so much comments as she´s only been out for the 1/4 mile race in `05

Apart from my friend´s not much people are involved in this project.
maybe `07 is a better season to go for a show.

thank´s to all for the great comment´s

There was a Meeting in Rauchwart/Punitz in 2001. Hot but nice. Also with 1/4 mile.

Just make your Cossie ready and start the season with the Frühjahrsausfahrt in Hartkirchen!
