good read that, stunning piece of kit

Eggenberger's cars were always nice to look at, everything had to be neat & tidy

 

The best built cars of the day

The budget for these cars tho was massive as they were the official Ford cars so the best of everything was a must

And to think you could buy a Texaco car a few years ago for 50k . and now there 250 k

If only

 

Proper awesome

 

Brilliant article. Really enjoyed it thanks

 

Cheers for that chap

 

Great to see how up to scratch it now is

 

Awesome!

 

Good article and great pics - I think I have found my new desktop wallpaper

 

Very good read

 

i wonder why they were all lhd?also no verniers?

 

Great read, nice to see pistonheads have more blue oval stuff on there. Lovely car.

 

Pistonheads?

For anyone who wants to see a recent video of one of the Eggenberger cars in action, look no further:

 

Quite an interesting read up learn something new every day lol

 

If you look most Ford " works " cars are LHD , Because most drivers arnt british , lol , and those that are seem to be ok with LHD yet the none brit drivers dont like RHD

No verniers , They just recut the keyway slot in the std pullys to get ajustment , i think this is because it was before the days of verniers etc that are off the shelf items today

 

so how many touring car 500's were actually made?

 

Bollocks!! I meant speedhunters

 

That car doesn't seem as quick as the Andy Rouse car? Is it still de-tuned?
How come the AR car is RHD?

 

Andy Rouse built cars are all RHD as AR is british , lol ,, unless he sold a " rouse kit " and the car built by a privateer overseas

Andy Brass , car in the link ( the rouse car ) has been updated with a lot of modern stuff now fitted

Having said that i think the videos make them look miles apart but i doubt there would be much in it if they were put against each other

 

Great video but I'm sure it's just a practice lap or demonstration that's why it doesn't seem as quick as the rouse car.
Nice scrap with a rs3100 cologne capri too! Some moneys worth on track that day.

 

There is some very interesting Touring car info ( inc chasssie numbers of all the TEXACO eggemberger cars) on my website

www.rs500owners.com

Cups of coffee that is

Yea I saw the video with the quaife sequential gearbox. Is adding modern stuff to it not ruining it originality and value?

 

What a cool write up.Its really interested.
