JLP Racing mechanics before 1980

nico55 · nico55's Garage

Hi Guys,

in my previous tread I was looking for information about my car, a 1972 911s owned by John Paul Sr. It is now confirmed that it was delivered by Brumos but soon after it was converted to RSR spec at the JLP facility.
Does anyone knows who were his mechanics at the beginning of JLP Racing?
I would like to know which engine was installed in the car when converted to rsr.

Regards,

Nico

Maybe try to contact John Paul Jr. via his Facebook page? I know he’s been afflicted with a neurodegenerative disease, but he may be able to provide information for you.

Hi Nico, Yes i know the car, speak to Graham Everett, he was the engine builder, for all the porsche motors, and would know more about that chassis and engine combo that had been done to that chassis. I was more on the 935 & Lola T600 side of the program.
Graham Everett Motorsports, based at Road Atlanta Track 770 965 5560. Hope this will help

Yes!!! This is fantastic, JLP Racings head mechanic Graham Everett who build the car for John Paul is still active! He has a shop index.
Thank you so much for the info, I have been looking for more than a year to find the original specs and confirmation this really was John Paul's car.
