Got to be Eklund in the Saab, I hope.

Barrie · 18 Jan 2009, 22:49 (Ref:2374102)

Can anyone name this guy and his Nationality?

rx-guru · 18 Jan 2009, 23:39 (Ref:2374126)

Not so easy without comparable pics. Possibly either Herbert Eigenbauer or Erich Geiselhofer, both from Austria, in 1990 or 1991?

If it isn't grey with a hint of green (=Antonsson) it is Eklunds Saab 9.3

I think this car still runs in Portugal.

Also what ever happened tp Pers awesome Subaru Impreza? maybe the Eye can help

rx-guru · 19 Jan 2009, 12:08 (Ref:2374391)

Think the Impreza was mainly used as a donor car (drive-train etc) for his first Saab 4x4. I used to call his first Saab a "Saabaru"…

Checked my files now. Start no 30 for the 1990 British RX GP at Brands Hatch was used by Austrian Ronald Irschik (Audi quattro). But I don’t know or think he ever owned that quattro. Guess it has been the car (or ex car?) of either Eigenbauer or Geiselhofer.

Grey with a hint of green was the colors of Anders Norstedt. Antonssons car was darkish red, just like the Portugese guy in the advertisement above.

Yes Ronald Irschik

Just found out via an Austrian RX forum that the guy in the dark overall with GBRXGP woven badge is Ronny Irschik himself. Did not realize myself…

And that he still owns that quattro.

Greetings from Austria!

The car was Michelle Moutons works-car for training, one of the very rare Pierburg-Quattros - then it was in Ludwig Hofers hands before Ronny Irschik drove the Quattro, also in UK!

The actual owner since many years is Herbert Eigenbauer - so the car is still in Austria and sometimes Herbert have fun with it on ice or at hillclimbings.

Actual pictures of the car you can find at http://www.ms-insider.com/Forum/view...645edd2ea#p160

regrads, Michael

Sorry for the late reply! VERY LATE reply! The Subaru is in Arvika. I have seen it in both TV shows and from magazine stories about Per. Per rarely sell his cars. He is a collector. Per saves everything!! He still has spare parts from his V4 days. I think this Veiga SAAB is the ex Antonsson car.

Yes I can vouch this. Per still has his 6r4 aswell in the eklund museum!

As for the Saab - it's definetley the ex antonsson car. Eduardo veiga came to England in about 2004 to take delivery of his Harry hockley motorsport built ford focus and race it in the rallycross Superprix. The same year Morgan brought his Saab. Veiga saw how quick the Saab was and sold the focus. I think both cars remain in portugal still

MESHGA · 24 Jan 2009, 08:39 (Ref:2378092)

2004 . Morgans Saab at grandprix was correct CS1 .
Morgan drove his Mitsi that weekend infact and the Saab was driven by a stockhatch driver.
I can remember that weekend very very well

rx-guru · 24 Jan 2009, 10:14 (Ref:2378115)

Not many people know that there is a small museum at his hometown of Arvika with nearly all vehicles that Per ever used in competition over 40+ years. However, I wonder if the Scooby still has its drive-train and if all cars are 100% complete in there.

bodgit · 1 Feb 2009, 19:24 (Ref:2383744)

Anyone have any new pictures?

bigted · 1 Feb 2009, 20:21 (Ref:2383782)
