[Alpines] Harrington Lemans V8

[rande]

Has anyone else noticed the story in the July 2008 edition of Classic and Sportscar,
the UK magazine.

In Michael Ware's column, Lost & Found (pg 28), he describes a 1962 Harrington
Lemans that John Horsman (part of JW Automotive Engineering, the Ford GT developers)
took to Des O'Dell to have a Tiger bulkhead and transmission tunnel fitted.
According to the story, a  Ford GT spec 289 was installed and and the car was
used as a test mule for engine modifications during the Ford GT racing program.
Concurrently, it was also Horsman's daily driver.

Again according to the article, two UK 'enthusiasts" are planning its restoration.


Looking at the front view of the car, the LH wing doesn't have a hole for the
round indicator of a Harrington, and the RH wing looks to be one from a Series
IV or V Alpine with the larger directional mounting hole.

The pictures remind me of the supposed faux Harrington Tiger pictures of a dusty
car in a lockup from several years ago.

Anyone have any more info about the C&SC car other than what Michael Ware wrote
about?
