I have a few old photos of that car racing!
Featured in lots of old PCGB magazines.

John Lucas's old 356 race car? Badly damaged in an accident with a Jaguar? at Silverstone? years ago.
Like Hendrick, I have loads of photos of it in old Porsche Posts upstairs in the loft, and a few slides that I took myself ……… somewhere!
I'm sure KS will be along in a minute.

Please don't over-restore and sanitise it, as happened to his replacement car, it has such a history that it deserves to be kept as a race car or sympathetic hot rod.

Blimey Mike, that’s very clever of you.

Thanks for the compliment Ashley but it is not really that cleaver- just the hours of work that we put in on everything we do

Many thanks everyone

Unfortunately its not my car, it now belongs to a good friend of mine and it's in very safe hands

Any pictures or history would be great to help get the car back to it original period racing condition

So thank's again all.

Andy.

Love the signature John Lucas touches (holes!) in the sills in that first photo!

I think this is John Lucas' replacement car JW refers to. I saw Caroline Lucas race this at Brands Hatch when I was getting interested in older Porsches. Was at Roger Bray's a couple of years ago
