Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
Just found the magazine.
The 911E was run by Kevin Joynson, JBL 'All around the Office'
He had a mailing firm too.
Magazine was August 1989.
This was when I had almost finished my own 911.

You know I think that car lives round the corner from me. Has lollipop seats in it.Lightweight_911 wrote:.
Another one.
I think this one was raced by Kevin Morfett:
I considered buying this car from Kevin back in the late '80's/early '90's (can't remember exactly when !)
I'm fairly sure this is the same car (originally a RHD 911E registered PYP 922L) that was previously owned by Vic ...

Correct. Julian, and he dose indeed live round the corner. I’ll have to drop him a line. I’m sure he would like to see a picture of his car.Slope330 wrote:Correct as always ,my old black 911e ...........needed cash so sold blue orange 2.7 Rs and bought that for abt 25% of the sale.........rebuilt as necessary,ideal basis for race car pyp 922 l

Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
That link answers my earlier question about Mike Burtt’s car....appears they are not one and the same, current car which he occasionally hillclimb is a 73, the one carrying number 3 in the series was a 74.
Fascinating to see how many of these cars live on as road cars after hanging up their helmets!

Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
Apologies for the poor scans from prints. This is Donington Park again, Josh Sadler followed by Graeme Bryant (with Mike Burtt ahead?)
Packing up after a Silverstone meeting in 87/88 was abandoned due to fog. Josh gave me an unforgettable display of 911 driving on damp roads on the way home in the 3.2 racer
If you’ll excuse the thread drift, the 930 GpB above reminded me of this. Who can name the drivers in the winning Autofarm team from this Donington relay?
I believe the car on the right is the arrow blue 934 which was restored a few years ago and featured here

Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
Yes, that's the ex-Kiemele 934 owned by various, including Gavin Watson who drove/shared a 930 in the Giroflex series.
Is that John Bell (who owned the car after Gavin Watson) sitting on the front?

Re: Giroflex Championship 1986
Last one, Fast Lane magazine from March 86, with a feature on ‘Five of the Best’ from Autofarm.
Josh’s 3.5 hill climber is in front, while the silver SC with 3.4 conversation at the back later morphed into the 3.2 Carrera in the shots above.
