Do tell.
Who did the shapey-craft bit?

I can confirm that is the plate that was on the 26R-S2-18 when I sold it almost forty years ago. A very original car. (now in the Barber Motorsport Museum)

When I contacted TT about his register of 26Rs a few years ago he still had me down as owning 26R/5 and I sold that in the mid eighties so be cautious with the registry although I think that is probably the best source.

Anyone know where 26R 5 is? I have some early history of the car that should be passed on.

Hi Alan, no the 26R was delivered with a Cosworth from new, the engine is still in the car, my S2 26R was ordered with group IV engine which was all steel internals and dry sump and delivered to Australia where it was successful in long distance races.
