Bob Browns Daytona?

Post by PaulR »

Found these two on UKDRN site. Don't know if these should be in road or race cars. Seem to think this may be Bob Browns Daytona around 1975. Remember being told it lost the nose cone because it bottomed out when parked in an underground garage where the owner lived in Crawley. Not sure who owned it then or if the loss of its nose was due to the car park problem.

Don't remember seeing the 69 Coronet/Super Bee Anyone know who owned it ?

The 69 super bee was raced at york,called"Mister Bee",ran 383,was painted orange last time I saw it,think Terry Redburn had it a while.

I heard Bobs daytonas nose was removed cause it wouldnt fit in the previos owners garage,but I could be wrong on that.

You are right Dave I was told it was underground garage and it wasn't just the nose that was removed the wing was taken off and I was told that that went missing as well.

I tracked down the rear spoiler (post some photo`s later) but the nosecone could not be located ( think it was scrapped ) :cry: :cry: :cry: Remember the car being metalic green from the factory but it was painted metalic blue when I 1st saw it. Not sure if it was painted here or in the USA, ask Bob. :help:

If memory serves me right the nose was removed because the car would not fit in the owners garage and I think it was damaged in some way :? :? :?

The Super bee is still around, think it's matt black at the moment, has changed hands a bit in the last couple of years and I'm pretty sure I saw it up for sale again in the last couple of weeks.

Without knackering the tread there used to be a black Daytona turn up at the Nats in the mid nineties - very tidy - think the guy who owned it came from Brum. Never knew if it was a real one or not. One year he turned up on Saturday and when there weren't any others there , he went back on Sat. night to bring it for the Sunday - so he tlold me - . It is still about and was it a real Daytona? - sure someone will know.
