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!

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. |

Yes, this car belonges to Jimmy ( RIP) one from our members, sadly his wife decided to store the care and save it for his daughters.
Until now it i still stored in the garage and has never been driven again.

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!
