There was a guy at Goodwood on Friday taking intricate measurements and making detailed drawings of the Matra MS80. I wonder if that was for a 3D model.
I'd done such a lovely job, I didn't have the heart to tell him that the car he was measuring was the third of two. |

Help, confusion here Tom I only want to make a small scale model in whatever scale it will be 1:18, 1:43 etc. Mostly because there isn't one at the moment and I want to see how all that CNCing works.
@drifty: Of cource I'm not going to build a replica that would be ridiculous That's why I contacted you. |

Sorry about that, didn't really understand what I was designing because I'd be drawing it full scale anyway then scaling it down using the miracle of computers. I put replica because I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be working or just for show or just a model...

Is the DS1 a Lola car with mods or a new car? as they had T850 Hu2 & 3 i suspect they are Lola /toleman cars with mods 1981 or did they modify toleman TG280#3 to a DS1 car? On paper toleman and lola are the same cars except the bodywork differs DS team had Toleman TG280#3 & 6 Lola T850 hu 2 & 3 so DS1#3 could be either car!!

T860 - HU2 has previous in Japanese F.Pacific before it is sold to Williamson. Believe it to have been used by Rothengatter in Japan, at least that's what New Zealand Motor Action says about the car.

The pair also ran the car in 1989. Rowan continued with IVH through to the end of 1991 when he sold the car to Mark Colton. Colton ran the car initially with the Hart engine (1992) then for 1993 it was converted to Judd V8 power by Rowan and Colton campaigned the car through 1993 & 1994. For 1995 Colton switched to the MP72 Pilbeam and removed the Judd engine from the Roman. Meanwhile Rowan had built up another Roman (VJ) which was campaigned sporadically by various drivers including Rowan and Mineef. Tony Marsh bought IVH and fitted his Cosworth DFL for 1996 after he shunted the Toleman TG191 DFL in 1995 - the TG191 being the ex-Bigwood car. John Fellows first appeared with the Roman VJ in 1997 still fitted with the 3.5 Judd engine. |

Tolemans in British Sprint Championship (BSC)
Quote:
TG87/1 - This car was again initially run by Ray Rowan in 1987 before David Render took it over. Render drove it from '87 until '93. TG280-?? - Nigel Bigwood appeared in a Toleman Hart during 1988 and '89 TG290-?? - Nigel Bigwood switched to a 290 for 1990. TG290-?? - Richard Ames drove another TG290 during 1990 & '91. TG191-?? - Nigel Bigwood appeared in this Cosworth V8 powered Toleman in 1991. It was then sold to David Render who used it in conjunction with TG87/1 during '92 & '93. The car was sold mid-way through 1993 to Tony Marsh who used it for the remaider of the season and through until 1995. |

Roman IVH -still around? TG87/1 Render 2.8 litre car this is the car Ray was using till last year in club sprints now sold to usa? |

Roman IVH has been stripped of its engine & gearbox and is currently "for sale" although who would want it I am not sure! I believe TG191 was the one crashed and written off by Tony Marsh. He then bought IVH as a roller and installed the DFL & Hewland from TG191 in IVH. |

TG87/1 was the car Ray was using in the British Hillclimb Championship up until last year. Didn't know it was sold to the States though!!! top secret info if i told u more i would have to kill you !
Roman IVH has been stripped of its engine & gearbox and is currently "for sale" although who would want it I am not sure!always 1 out there who wants a car !! if a man has a dfl and hewland lying around he could rebuild the car for historic hillclimbing in 15 yrs time!! I believe TG191 was the one crashed and written off by Tony Marsh. He then bought IVH as a roller and installed the DFL & Hewland from TG191 in IVH. |

All the cars (if there were multiple cars) came from Ray Rowan. Maybe Drifty could ask Raymondo next time they are chatting? |

Difficult to keep up with all recent posts. However a couple of items. First what are "TG290s"?? Second I thought we'd established elsewhere that Wyatt S never in fact raced the Toleman he entered in early 81 or 82. He did appear once only, albeit in an Ralt RT6 or similar.

TG290 is a made up name for the cars built out of spare parts from the factory
Ray Rowan cleared the dead stock made these cars for hillclimbers the toleman run was 11 cars 9 race din F2 2 went hillclimbing lola built/made 5x T850 under licence in 81 1 car had DFL fitted with the odd spares left after the "toleman" tg290 cars where built Ray made the Roman using some uprights and tub skin bits with SPA making more parts and the final tubs for the 2 Romans but they are 2 totally different cars They have DNA to toleman f2 cars car but are not toleman modifed cars as we discussed earlier in detail the f2 cars plus the 4-5 hillclimb sprinting cars and more can be added if someone needs more info only 1 roman exists bored now can we have some photos please |

Further to Drifty's notes below:
1) The TG290s were the Tolemans built up by Ray Rowan from the spare tubs/chassis. 2) The Romans were the cars that Ray Rowan built from the spare bits (i.e. not full tubs/chassis) plus what he had made-up by SPA. 3) There are two Romans left that I know of (one in Yorkshire that is in bits and minus its engine & gearbox, the other a complete car which hasn't competed for many years). On the photo front I have loads of stuff on slides which I will hopefully digitise over the Winter IF another project doesn't take up too much of my time! PS How did I ever find time to go to work!!!

amendments on the extra cars built
I was with Ray strapped to a chair spot light in face mole grips on finger nails and he finally confessed The Bigwood car was with 2.8 Hart then sold to Tony Marsh with dfl power That car is later sold less engine and a 2 litre motor was poised to be fitted but car never ran and is still in black bodywork as a roller 2 more cars ran1 wa sthe BP liveried car ran by Ames in sprints then colin stone in BOSS that car was then sold broken up for engine and gearbox now sold to usa as a pile of spare parts the third car is the Render car with 2.8 Hart now in usa so 3 cars built from the dead stock Toleman /Lola parts not 4 ! Romans 1 car still complete other car was cannibalised for engine and gearbox for another project car tub still around somewhere |

So, to modify Steve's histories:
Quote:
TG87/1 - Ray Rowan 1987 - David Render 1987-93 ... now in USA with 2.8 Hart TG280-?? - Nigel Bigwood 1988-89; then as T290 in 1990; then as TS191-DFL in 1991 (- Render 1992-93) - Tony Marsh 1993-95 ... later sold less engine ... now a roller in black bodywork. TG290-?? - Richard Ames 1990-91 ... Colin Stone for BOSS ... later broken up and sold to USA as spare parts. Have I got that right? |
