A bit more ME5 history.

Here's a couple of pics of the ME5 from Elfin historian, Ian Hobbs' Elfin photo collection of 800 pictures. The car was built in 1969 and went through many owners until John Blanden bought it in 1985. He sent it back to the factory to be restored to original specification to make it eligible for historic racing (Group O?). Here it is during Blanden's ownership at the 1986 AGP meeting in Adelaide.

He sold it in 1987 to Ric Otten who sold it in 1989 to Greg Lovett who also brought it to the AGP in Adelaide in 1990.

There was very little change to the ME5 during these owners. The next owner, Bob Minogue (1992-93) sold it to Haam Lagaay (1993-2007) who lived in Germany. At the time Harm happened to be the head of the design department at Porsche and had the opportunity to use their facilities to make a few improvements. Trevor brought the ME5 back to South Australia in 2007.

Trevor had chosen to revive the car from its Johnnie Walker era, prior to the Blanden ownership but not as the original unstable car of 1969.
Thanks Ian, for that insight.
