I was sorting through some of my photos and that got me wondering, as I was always curious about the Roman I saw at Wiscombe Park in 2006. Bob Penrose was driving - in the programme it's listed as a Roman Mk5 with a DFL engine.
Pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cabrinigreen/2934387030/ I've gone through this thread so I gather there are currently 2 Romans, one complete (Roman VJ?) and one a tub (Roman IVH?). Could anyone help with the competition history of this particular Penrose car? From this thread I gather Penrose acquired the car for 2006 from Rob Romeril (who google tells me was active with it in 2002). Am I to assume this car is the Roman VJ, so currently (or as of 2007) owned by John Fellows? Cheers |

The Fellows car is currently for sale less engine whilst the Penrose car is in bits at Steve Owen's OMS factory. Penrose had Steve Owen use the car as a Parts Bin for the OMS that Bob now runs. |

Yeah, sorry if my comment following the picture of the Fellows car caused confusion. I meant it's a shame about the Penrose car.

C8: Zakspeed/Ertl 1980 ...
C9: Works turbo test car 1980Gartner in 81 Did Ertl ever run this car with a turbo Zakspeed engine or is it a myth? Also does anyone know what became of both of these chassis - Im intrigued to know why they were both the basis for F1 test engine mules. |

"Chum" is also a dog food and as far as i am aware Polanski and Senna never met!
The Roman is ROwan and toleMAN hence why only 1 Roman was built the 2nd car is lola not toleman car parts- all from from the horses mouth not the A-Z of race cars by JR Hartley |

Ladies please! Lets get back to the important questions - like did Ertl have a turbo F1 test car chassis?
