Asking again for history regarding my Euro GTS
3840.

I have gained some information from Marcel Shaub (Switzerland) who has come up with some factory paperwork.

The Info I am now looking for is the American aspect, when it was imported from Italy I don't know as yet.

But when it did arrive in the USA I have the last owners details, some "Verbal Information"
but nothing concrete, so here are the details I have and if anyone knew the gentleman or can help in any way I would be truly grateful

The car was owned, we think from around 1981, by a Gentleman called Richard Prime, who died in 2012.
He lived in Providence, and was employed as a truck driver for the teamsters local 251 for many years before retiring.

He was also a pioneer of Drag racing in the 1970's and earned the name of "New England Flash"

After richard's death his car was obtained by
a New York car dealer from whom I bought it.

Best Peter

You might check with these guys...

North East Motor Sports Museum..


Here's a link to his "OBIT"

Scroll Down a Little... Look for "Dickie Prime"

Obviously you already found this, as you quoted the obit verbatim.

Have you looked at this?

If you can prove it (DMV Title Search) it makes your car worth about 5 Guineas (Sterling) more....

It is a cool piece of history, though! He looks like a real stud (of motorsports).

WOW, thats brilliant information Rocky.

if you nip over tonight I will pay for all the beers,
have sent the museum a mail, one other Mail address isn't working the top fuel one but much more than I had expected, I have contacted the driving authority too.

I had found as you noted Mr Primes Obituary.
He seems like a real GO GO Bloke doesn't he
god bless him.
