    Interesting photos of #DP003. Looks like Japan in the 80's ?

    Japan is correct
    Venue and date unknown
    It is a Piper replica correct, his 2nd “P4”
    DP0003 built in the early 80s (red car with race no. 12)

    I contacted Cantelli in Formigine, near Maranello
    He built two P frames for Piper in the late 70s.
    He used the blue prints that DP provided him. Both frames were built from scratch, David did not provide an existing frame or a part of it.

    Important info to post in the 0846 thread I'd have thought.

    Spoke with David Piper.

    first engine in the car was a 412P type. The chassis was correctly built using the P4 plans to fit the 412P type engine which has different mounting points to a P4. P4 style arrangement of tubes. Later modified with bolt on triangle adaptors and drop down brackets, bent tube to fit the 312 F1 engine he bought from Ferrari.
    The 412P engine was repaired and he used it in his 0836 P car.

    Here is an album of pictures I took at Piper's workshop more than 20 years ago of the cars we call 0900 and the incomplete 0900a. Feel free to examine, contrast and compare with JG's car and the no-question P4s.

    Who built the third?

    Perhaps this was not the thread to post the link to the album of the green car and the incomplete car; the red car was in storage with a friend of DP when I visited DP's workshop in 1995, and the only time I saw it during his ownership was at the Goodwood Revival in September 2000 when it formed part of the John Surtees tribute display:
