The brand new SRC Olympia Rallye 1972 BMW 2.8 CS is now available as a kit.
It is the works car of Rauno Aaltonen and John Davenport, who had to retire on the 32nd of a total of 67 special stages with a defective head gasket.
The 3,500-kilometer event took place from 13 to 19 August 1972. It started in Kiel, a city in the north of Germany, and finished in the south, in Munich, a week before the Olympic Games.
The 17000 rpm SRC M3 motor is positioned as an inliner in a separately sprung pod.
The spring-loaded guide is positioned as far forward as possible in front of the car, which makes it very stable.
The front axle can be adjusted with four grub screws; two on each side at the bottom of the front axle and two at the top.
Thanks to the Lexan interior, the weight remains just under 80 grams.
Here are a few pictures of the build process and the car ready to go:
