Romanian? Really? Then it becomes VERY interesting !

Any chance it's a BMW special of Marin Dumitrescu?

[pnegyesi]

Faksta, it is locked for you. I need the name and the year when it was built

[faksta]

1949, probably? Through 1946-1948 he was said to be racing another special, Jeep based. As for the name, I never knew the name of this car. Maybe I will be able to trace it now, but all I've got on Romanian racing is from the web. It's only moments ago that I stumbled upon a book on Romanian racing history written by... Marin Dumitrescu!

[pnegyesi]

yes, I have that book, but you can find the name on the net as well. still locked. year is about right

[faksta]

While I'm searching for the name, is this book worth buying? Does it really give an impression on Romanian racing? I mean, cars, drivers, tracks, races...
