    I think this caricature drawing can perhaps speak to you ?

    FWIW the Le Mans aspirations ascribed to Barry Robinson were legitimate as he was in fact a serious racer.

    Here he is in the 1984 Brands Hatch 1000kms in 1984 in his Porsche Type 935 coming out of Druids Bend behind the Porsche 956 of Jonathan Palmer & Jan Lammers

    Here is the famous "BR 33" imaged on May the 27th 1985, when just a couple months old, at the Motor 100 Extravaganza celebrating 100 years of World Motoring at The Silverstone Racing Circuit.

    We know the whereabouts of Barry's LP500S having been recently auctioned, but this DD's whereabouts are unknown to me.

    I'll bet that's Rick Lee on the street in or around London.

    The car looks like an alien conveyance compared to modern-day traffic.

    The photographer captioned this image: "Black Magic".

    Mark Hart's DD is center of attention.

    Since this was Khalid M's car UK-registered KM 8, I have many memories of it from the late 80s.

    You probably inversed the last 2 digits, I've the car as FLA12824 in my records. It's correct that the car went to US after the auction.

    FLA12842 is a white / white car also residing in US

    Hello Harry, Delighted that you have decided to put the wing back on. But what's keeping the books up in your office?
    Last time we met up with the cars was at the oxfordshire pub,(see photo's above) with the other classic Lambo's, that was a very memorable occassion and must be repeated.

    The Miura next to yours at the show, is that Graham Rs. ???

    Best wishes,
    Tadek

    I think Harry fell under the bad influence of a certain James May :)
