PAUL S 11 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 found this on a website years ago, and sent a copy to Martin Johnson when he had his Texaco car which might help a bit.The 89 Spa winning Bastos car was built from one of the 88 Texaco cars that was damaged at the spa event, so might be the Soper one, I think they entered 3 that year. £200k and its yours with a huge spares package.The cars I am aware of are:-Ex Martin Johnson car in Aus.The one in New Zealand on gold centrelocks rather than the normal silver.There is one in Germany that attends events quite regularly, I think its owned by the chap with the blue f40. Possibly one other that was retained by Ford Germany which includes a spare display engine as well.The 89 Spa winner now in Bastos colours, now in Switzerland.Possibly another in New Zealand/ may have been Martins car though until it went to AusThe Texaco painted one in France owned by a rallycrosser, its an egmo car but dont think its an original Texaco car thoughAny other known ones out there still?

kieran 4 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 Quick question guys, in the 1987 season it shows on that piece of paper 99623 being a chsis number so surely wasn't that the third eggenberger car rather than the 99629 of 87?Or am I being dumb What is the 99267 is an ex ringhausen car? What livery does it wear?Kieran Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Bowden 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2013 Not dumb Kieran. 99269 was built for the 88 season. 99263 was the spare for the WTCC, but it did race in at least one round. Both cars are down here now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kieran 4 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 Question, the 1988 DTM was a Speedware sponsored sierra RS500 with what looks like exact same parts, Ie roll cage, engine, interior, engine management etc so what was this car? A eggenberger 87 car?Random question I know but watching some old etcc and dtm videos and got me thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roy 22 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 I believe that the Speedware (Grab team) cars were supplied / built by Eggenberger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCS 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Did the Eggenberger Engines have any significant Numbering that's possible to see easily , what about Rouses Engines, could you tell them from serial numbers ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PAUL S 11 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 I have no info on those matters, but years later it transpired that Mr Eggenberger had access to much stronger blocks than everyone else!They were virtually solid metal and weighed a ton apparently.Here is a pic looking through the water pump hole of one of those "not for public consumption" versions!

MT-Motorsport 15 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Im sure Romain built an Engine last year with a block like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT-Motorsport 15 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 It would be nice to strip a few eggenberger engines to see the spec on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PAUL S 11 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Graham Goode said in an article in Cars and Car Conversions that they had an egmo engine in for a rebuild after the racing days were over for the 500 and they could not lift the bare block off the floor it was that heavy. Now you have him on speed dial Mark quiz him about it next time you chat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT-Motorsport 15 Report post Posted February 28, 2014 Hi Paul, spoke to him today and he has an eggenberger block there he says they are a tonne weight. He also said all genuine eggenberger blocks were not the small core and had normal size plugs in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
