Number 15 raced by Bob FERGUS ...

Note that "The Nardi" Vee was also raced here by Bill Bencker and yet owned by Jan Brundage !!!


The one (365-216) was a spare chassis for the 5 bought by Kevin JEANNETTE then Daryl ADAM, his racing mechanic, then a Rocky mountain member,
and NEVER ASSEMBLED UNTIL TODAY !
Note the parts list document where it is written "Vasek Polak died, Carl Thompson (?) with a phone number" ! Sadly no longer available ...  :-(
I bought it some months ago from the last owner (John Graham USA) - his boss at Rocky mountains company got it from Daryl ADAMS but never assembled too -
Then I sold 50% of it recently for my house project to my friend Frederic PRINCE (who will buy soon the remaining 50%).
Assembling in progress in order to race together in 2016 !

Previously owned by Reynold Watt (USA), then Gilles Sobeau (France)		  
One of the Vasek Polak stockpile cars along with 365-220 and 365-225

The last one was bought by Gilles SOBEAU to the last owner (Reynold WATT USA) , but he wanted to resell it immediatly (not enought time and no trailer)
then I bought it with an other friend of mine until he is able to buy it fully, else it would have been sold to a UK or NL guy...

All these infos were matching the story that I was told by Bill SIMER, also that some previous old owners told me since !
