Via the wonders of my other massive thread on my Lola T 492 hillclimb car some important info has emmerged about the grey part of the history.
I hope this lot following will ring bells:
A refresher:
Alan humberstone crashed T 490 HU6 when it had a Skoda body on it as a Thundersport at a very wet Lydden Hill in '84.
The car was rapidly stripped and another T492 this time was sourced and bits transfered over to this 'new' car.
The new car came from Herne Bay, bought by Alan for Tony Harman (Haggis speed) and John Schieder to rebuild for Alan.
Alan could not recall the name of the seller, but today someone else may have found the seller!
So:
The 'new' car (in Thundersports guise too) was bought from Dennis Humphries Motorsport (Kent) Ltd in mid 85
Dennis lives(d) in Herne Bay.
I have a phone number off the actual advert which i will soon ring. He also had a Chevron to sell too.
The crumpled T 490 HU6 was sat the same time offered for sale damaged by Colin Poole Racing.
Does any of this ring any bells please?
I don't know if Dennis is still there and if the man is dead I don't want to call the house.
My motive for all this is to find the chassis number of my car.
It begs the question if HU6 is still alive?!
I thought it was scrapped.
Avid hillclimber, just bought a Lola T 492 to hillclimb.
