Your attempt to beat me 3-0 failed, I'm afraid. Not a Dulon.

It was designed for a specific racing series. Not French.

Very close with the title. A small clue - the car was made in the UK but the race series was held elsewhere.

DID THE SERIES RUN , OR DID IT FAIL TO HAPPEN

It happened, and today they are run in historic festival meetings. The series was instigated by a very well-known driver from a country which has produces a surprising number of successful drivers.

VAN DIEMEN SR22OO , SUBARU 22OO ENGINE

Yes! One well-earned point to you. It's nice to have a fellow motor sport fan on AP.

I don't know much about this car, but apparently the race series was started by none other than Keke Rosberg, who I think was using it to find promising new drivers in Finland. I'm not sure if it ever travelled to other countries. The car was standardised as this Van Diemen with a Subaru EJ22 motor.

Post by: Copenhagen GT on January 02, 2018, 04:47:26 PM: Sorry for bringing this old topic back to life ..... but as I just bought a couple of these cars - I´m searching for info.

Anyone have any idea where to search for info like productions stats, years, variations between years etc?

Sadly all the information I know has been obtained from the internet. I wouldn't bother to PM me!

Post by: shamrock on June 16, 2018, 03:12:27 AM: Anders ,I have just seen your query I would check out Ralf Firman the man who built them
Title: Re: Solved NIC#214 - Van Diemen SR Sport 2200
Post by: Copenhagen GT on September 28, 2018, 06:33:47 PM: Thank you - will try that. Does anyone have any info or contact to the group in Finland that still run these cars? Anyone know how many of the Subary ones were made - am I correct in thinking they were earlier than the Multisport?

My two cars have chassis plate numbers SU / 104 and SU / 108
