I can't repeat what came out of my mouth when I just read that ! WOW ! What history.. this must have been '66, '67 maybe ?
I can imagine, believe me!! Yeah, they won 66, 67, 68 and 69 although they first raced at the Nurburgring in 64. One of his most treasured possessions from that time was the Steering Wheel from one of the winning cars!
(We still have the Steering Wheel.)
