Van Diemen
A bit strange that a VD thread/chassis discussion isn't here.
After giving up trying/waiting to get an open wheeler in Australia (the asking prices are through the roof at the monent)I purchased a 1988 VD FF2000 from the USA. Even after shipping it is less than half the price (WELL less!) than one currently advertised in MY105.Came with new engine,3 sets of wheels,new wets, 24 gearsets and misc spares,arms etc, I guess the $AUD to $USD helps at the moment. As this is my first try in open wheelers I thought this would be a good starting point, low maintenance, not too fast but has wings and slicks. It will be interesting to say the least. Barry Singleton (March F2/Swift S2000) is my teacher so I hope I can learn enough to stay out of trouble. Chassis no. is 88RF1310, a bit ironic as I had lots of Cooper S' in my youth! For any others interested, here is the VD Registry. http://www.vandiemen.registry.freese...com/index.html R F2000 PMS.JPG Last edited by rorym; 13 Nov 2009 at 05:56. |
