Darrin Forum / experimental engineering progress reports

« on: January 28, 2021, 06:48:08 PM »

I copied a number of Darrin experimental (engineering) progress reports and prototype pictures that were listed on eBay several years ago. I have forwarded copies to Phil Jelinek and Jim Betts. I found this one interesting discussing power doors and a hardtop. Not real clear but still legible. Prototype pictures attached also.

I was told by the gentlemen handling the sale that one of Larry's local friends purchased the parts and hopes to have them available by April or May.

I looked at the parts from Larry's estate. The amount of parts was overwhelming. Huge amount of NOS items from all years and tons of used. I don't think Larry threw anything away. Most of it tucked away in the basement of his old house. There was a completely assembled "supersonic" engine in the basement also. Multiple steering wheels, hubcaps everywhere, windshields, hood ornaments, 2 sets of 49/50 fender skirts, etc. Worth the asking price but the amount of time involved to load, sort, and inventory was more than I could spare. If I were retired, those parts would have been in my basement.
