Great pics Paul!
Another wonderfully interesting photo Charles. Its rare to find images of Scheckter racing this car. I love the look of the little R-100 in Group 2 spec, with the big flares. I bet it was loud!
Time to resurrect this old thread. Here is a period photo of the car in the opening posts. Love those flares!
