Ivan Goriup Posted July 9, 2023 Share #20201  Posted July 9, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Schuppan 962 CR - at first sight I thought it was a Dauer 962, but that 'conversion' used the same headlights the race cars used - Vern Schuppan, an ex- works driver went a bit further in his road-legal 962 . The Gurney flap on the 959style rear spoiler should have given it away. Rare indeed......good one, Andreas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted July 9, 2023 Share #20205  Posted July 9, 2023 Wasn't there also a British version of this road converted car, made in the Silverstone workshops of  Richard Lloyd Racing. I think it was not a success either. It used the early Porsche double clutch gearbox (PDK). It might have been of the 956 rather than the 962, I can't really remember. These road converted race cars are normally pretty awful, with heavy steering, rock hard suspension and leaden brakes, a bit like a Pagani Zonda. You would never want to drive it for long, as it is so hot inside you are close to melting after 30 minutes. It was not a great decision to use a Fiat Punto air conditioning compressor. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted July 9, 2023 Share #20206 Â Posted July 9, 2023 It is fascinating that the car had the Porsche logo, but maybe he did not ask and he built only six cars anyway (four still exist). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 9, 2023 Share #20207  Posted July 9, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks, never seen one in real life. Not that I like the design but it is an interesting idea and typical for it´s time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted July 10, 2023 Share #20208 Â Posted July 10, 2023 Sorry about this, but I simply do not have the time to post the next puzzle car. It's one of those times when everything happens at once and I must tend to matters before things get out of hand. If someone would be good enough to jump in and post something it would be much appreciated. JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to keep things moving here's something which I chanced upon this afternoon. Whatever you might come up with will be given full consideration. Recently I've fallen into the trap of offering-up far too generous a crop and I DID think about sucking-out the colour so as not to give away too many clues but, even so, in retrospect you might enjoy having as much info as possible at your disposal... I love this car! Enjoy! Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Philip.
