Does anyone know the current whereabouts of -
- Col Robert B "Tip" Franklin
- last heard of in Atlanta area about 10 years ago
- military man - moved around a lot
- had National License from Germany
- was SCCA instructor at Mid Ohio and Summit Point
- 1977 Solo II champion
- SVRA vintage competitor in 1988 in rebodied Merlyn Mk 6B, green.
Wish to trace history of this unique body -
- car was 1964 Merlyn Mk 6B
- car owned by Eric Kerman of NY, 1969-72
- believed to have won 1969 DSR "Runoffs" at Daytona [original body?]
- also CSR pole qualifier at 1972 Atlanta Runoffs with 1300 Lotus TC
- unique [more square] body added in 1972 - ran with and without wing.
I have 1988 pic of rebodied car with Tip in it. I can email pic to
anyone who might be able to help me.
Thx . . . . . Derek
