He recently restored a Scarab formula 1 car, so he knows whereof he speaks & offers this correction to a feature I posted on www.laprecord.com in a previous edition
"The Scarab F1 cars you posted look very cool with the transporter and all. One item you should realize is that the engines in them are not desmodromic Reventlow, but Offy. Same designer but more available with more reliability. The only two Desmo engines that exist are, one at the Collier museum in Naples Florida on a stand, and the other installed in GP2 that I restored now for sale in San Diego is up and running. They were a great idea that NEVER worked, a complete failure, TOO BAD!"
Thanks for the correction Don, sorry for the delay in setting the record straight
