DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

having a quick search around specifically at 1972/73 RHD 2.4E's , it appears quite a lot of them have quite interesting competition history . Assume the regulations at the time and the value of the cars made the 2.4E the car of choice ?
Any owners on DDK able to add to the list ? Any other model commonly used

Rvzz ( Russ) ... 1972 2.4E pirelli race car
MT's .... 1972 2.4E pirelli race car ?
(Adam) ... 1973 2.4E sprint/ hill climb car

I have some DVD's of the 88/89 Pirelli Championship season, so if anyone thinks their car was in it and has the reg no. or the driver or colour scheme I'll see if it figures. A copy could then be made and sent for a few quid in the DDK charity pot.

I know Russ's car is on that video as he has a copy too. Looks like your 2 cars probablly had a battle or 2 on the track

My old RS rep was a 73 E that raced in the Pirelli series in the late 80's, run by Autofarm and driven by Valentine Lindsey.
Here's the before and after:

Whack on some flares, call them an ST...with provenance!....sell up and retire on the proceeds!

Simples!

Love that

PYP 922L my old 911 E , black all the time , i was 2nd owner, had a whack in Highgate, body repaired with steel flares to rs, few 2 more owners another whack ! then raced mainly with Kevin Morphett , Historika , many years .......sold in last 5 years to guy up North, returned to road spec ,he works on r & d for pistons for Cosworth.........seen it in couple of magazine ads lately

Vic - I have a feeling we might have discussed this before ...

I considered buying this car from Kevin back in the late '80's/early '90's (can't remember exactly when !) - maybe it was your old car ? (I might have another picture of it showing the reg no):

Found another picture that I'd already scanned onto my PC - looks like PYP XXXL - too much of a coincidence ?:

looks like it Andy , i never had a cage in it , went from me to Martyn Konig, then a guy called Maz ........was ex fac with S callipers and roll bars , full leather ..............lots of fun , personally had just sold and rs to help with kids school fees !

i met the guy 'from cosworth' couple of years back and passed over a couple of track day shots from Goodwood [ when u cud hire the whole track for £400 !] it amazes me it survived so much .........Kevin was never gentle with it ..........tee hee when i sold it was matching numbers , no idea now !!!!!!!!!!

thats it .........never had red wheels in my time ..........might have been considered flash !!!!!!!

If rallying in New Zealand counts as proper competition history you can add my car to the list ....

NLX 97L - a RHD 2.4E and "sister" of my old E NLX 100L - has race history, before being used as a daily driver for many years by Higgs.

Its current owner Geoff is rebuilding the car to take it racing again.

Mine raced in the Giroflex series through the eighties .

Then owned by Keith Russell ( would love to get in touch with him if anyone has contact details )who I presume upgraded it to RS spec with full cage and flares etc...

Would love to see some more footage of my car if you have it . I found the Birmingham and Mallory footage on Youtube but thats about it .
Happy to make a donation .

Russ - was it registered as NMD 222L at some point ?
