Don, do you happen to know the official designations of any of the the others Auto Unions? For example did their record breakers andhillclimb cars have different Horch type numbers from the GP cars they were based on?Duncan Rollo
The more you learn, the more you realise how little you know.

I have found nothing else to support the notion that the A-U racing machines also had Horch type designations.
Not to say that this is not possible, simply that I could not find anything, leavng me a bit puzzled as to exactly how MS came up with that information -- which is why I ended up thinking that it had something to do with the customs paperwork.Popular memory is not history.... -- Gordon Wood

The car looks in much better shape then when Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt trashed it unmercifully and ended up winning the 1965 race to their own surprise.

Gordon Murray was capable of producing lookers. His mid-70's Brabhams were some of my favourites.
Conversely, the car that was unjustly beaten (my opinion, not fact) by the BT52, the Renault RE40, was the frumpiest looking thing ever to come out of France. Marilon Cotillard it was not.Q: What's worse than a Bully? A: His Sidekick
