Hi,

I have bought a car which I am restoring. Whilst doing this I have found that the car got involved in a few hillclimbs , sprints and autotest in the sixties. I have compiled the information into a website : 2080 PO History Website . Anyway, I have been kindly informed that the car got involved in the European hillclimb championship in 1967. I have been sent pictures of the car competing at Gaisberg in 1967 and also in Mont-Ventoux of the same year where the car ran in the GROUP IV & VI (sport car and prototype) in the 0 to 1150 CC class. It also shows in the Ollon-Villars results as there is an Austin Healey sprite in the same group and class , but the name is "John" my chap was Called Colin, John Starley so this may explain the "John" entry in the name column. I wonder if someone had a copy of the various programmme and could send me a scan of the cover and entry list for the above mentioned group and class. i list the events I am after:

21/05 Montseny (E): 04/06 Rossfeld (A): 18/06 Mont Ventoux (F): 09/07 Trento-Bondone (I): 16/07: Cesana-Sestriere (I): 30/07 Freiburg-Schauinsland (D): 27/08 Ollon-Villars (CH): 03/09: Gaisberg (A):


also if any of you know of picture database i could query this would be usefull (I try the LAT but they were not really forthcoming)

Thank you for looking into this,

It slightly puzzles me that Rossfeld is being credited as being the Austrian round of the EHC - if this is indeed correct, is this due to Austrian motorsport authorities having actually organized the event (along the lines of the San Marino GP, for example)? Or is this simply a misquotation?
