Over the Cliff?

#1 Post by Pascal Zundel »

Cliff Murray selling his racing car. :shock:
The times they are a changin'.
I hope this is due to many new and exciting challenges and projects.
Don't keep us hanging Cliff. :wink:
I also hope you will keep your avatar unchanged.
Cheers from Europe, where PreAs are definitely highly regarded and too seldom seen racing.

Hi Pascal,
I have started building a Devin D race car and I can't race 2 cars at once. I have always gotten as much pleasure building racers(2 or 4 wheels) as I do racing them. The Devin will probably be the last race car project that I do so I am very focused on it. I am conflicted since I believe I have the nicest and most interesting 356 race car on the track and the car is also very fast. Once gone I wont ever be able to equal the cool factor of my '55 Cabriolet racer. That said I still have some of my old vintage race motorcycles that I have not raced since 2001 and there is something sad about a racer that sits on display without a chance to prove its prowess on the track where it is meant to be. I would like to see somebody carry on using my car. Thank you for noticing.

All the best in your new resto/racing endeavours with the Devin.
I enjoyed reading about these cars in the club's magazine last month. I have not seen one yet over here and I hope your 2nd Devin will cross the pond and find its way to our Continental roads and tracks.
Best as always,
Pascal

Just for fun I am posting some pictures of the horrible Devin that I am making into a race car. Notice the lightweight frame. :shock:
