Giroflex Championship 1986

[911hillclimber]

Just found the magazine.
The 911E was run by Kevin Joynson, JBL 'All around the Office'
He had a mailing firm too.

Magazine was August 1989.
This was when I had almost finished my own 911.

Mallory Park - not sure which year

Another one.

I think this one was raced by Kevin Morfett:



I considered buying this car from Kevin back in the late '80's/early '90's (can't remember exactly when !)

I'm fairly sure this is the same car (originally a RHD 911E registered PYP 922L) that was previously owned by Vic ...

.

You know I think that car lives round the corner from me. Has lollipop seats in it.

[johnM]

Correct as always ,my old black 911e ...........needed cash so sold blue orange 2.7 Rs and bought that for abt 25% of the sale.........rebuilt as necessary,ideal basis for race car pyp 922 l
Today I believe belongs to a great guy who works on r& d for cosworth

Correct. Julian, and he dose indeed live round the corner. I’ll have to drop him a line. I’m sure he would like to see a picture of his car.

That link answers my earlier question about Mike Burtt’s car....appears they are not one and the same, current car which he occasionally hillclimb is a 73, the one carrying number 3 in the series was a 74.

Fascinating to see how many of these cars live on as road cars after hanging up their helmets!

great thread, watching these guys race inspired me to join them, I started in 1992/1993, first a 944 Turbo, Then a 944S2 and a 964 was my first race 911

Incidentally, Ann Johns... was the owner of the Gulf Orange RHD Carrera RS (PMC 29L) that featured in Supercar Classics

Jan ‘88


Here at Thruxton (edit: thanks for the prompt, Robert), penultimate car

Apologies for the poor scans from prints. This is Donington Park again, Josh Sadler followed by Graeme Bryant (with Mike Burtt ahead?)


Packing up after a Silverstone meeting in 87/88 was abandoned due to fog. Josh gave me an unforgettable display of 911 driving on damp roads on the way home in the 3.2 racer


If you’ll excuse the thread drift, the 930 GpB above reminded me of this. Who can name the drivers in the winning Autofarm team from this Donington relay?

I believe the car on the right is the arrow blue 934 which was restored a few years ago and featured here

Great pictures Al, but is that first one really Castle Combe? Best wishes, Robert

[KS]

Yes, that's the ex-Kiemele 934 owned by various, including Gavin Watson who drove/shared a 930 in the Giroflex series.

Is that John Bell (who owned the car after Gavin Watson) sitting on the front?

[dragonfly]

Last one, Fast Lane magazine from March 86, with a feature on ‘Five of the Best’ from Autofarm.
Josh’s 3.5 hill climber is in front, while the silver SC with 3.4 conversation at the back later morphed into the 3.2 Carrera in the shots above.

How about the complex at Thruxton, that makes more sense
