Brundage racer
Jaartal: 1952

Aantal: 1

Specificaties: Speciaal voor de 12 Uren van Sebring (USA) bouwden de gebroeders Brundage een racewagen, de 1200cc “VW Special”. De resultaten mochten zeker gezien zijn: met een 3 de plaats versloegen ze zelfs een 2 liter Ferrari en enkele 3.5 liter Jaguars.

My German is older and rustier than my Vee, but I think it says that the car was a special for the 12 hour race at Sebring in 1952, and it finished 3rd behind a Ferrari and a Jag.

Your German is pretty good considering the text is Dutch or maybe Afrikaans.

LMAO Lynn.

Yep. Along with the idea to produce a VW-based single seater prototype (which we now know grew into a Formula - Vee) Hubert Brundage had this two-seater racer build too. I think that this is him in the car. Paul Scheimer to confirm. Here's another pic (attached) of it in the US.

It looks a lot like like the result of mating a Karmann Ghia with a Porsche Speedster, and I like it!
