Title: Re: Whose car? Post by: Neil Davies on January 30, 2009, 09:52:59 am Was that the one that was built in the guy's living room? Then he died a few months after the feature? I can't remember much more about it - definately a European built car if its the one I'm thinking of!
Title: Re: Whose car? Post by: Tim C on January 30, 2009, 10:24:04 am You're right Neil. The car was built by Jimmy of the Der Benzin Saüfers in Belgium and it is Capri Blue.
Many more photos here: http://users.telenet.be/dbsvw/jimmy's%20'58.htm Great looking car that I remember seeing at Spa in 2004, the other DBS members had photos of Jimmy in the rear side windows of each club car as a mark of respect shortly after he had passed.

Post by: Chuck Fryer on February 02, 2009, 18:24:11 pm I think that pass was a trans breaker. Not right away but at an event the next weekend the whole gear stack pushed back on the first pass!
Title: Re: Whose car? Post by: Cornpanzer on February 04, 2009, 14:01:13 pm That is one cool car for sure! Capri blue is now on my short list. Did you say that Capri shorts are on your list? Title: Re: Whose car? Post by: Chuck Fryer on February 05, 2009, 04:24:44 am I guess it would be you who would want to see my shorts, never knew you were into that kinda thing. :o
