RaceRetro 22.2.14
On display in the exhibition halls is Dave Eaton's wonderful creation in the early stages of the process, the Icon 917. Starting with a bodyshell mould of David Piper's 917K-010, Dave and John Hartland were to spend 8 years recreating this marvellous car that was always intended to run on road and track. Fully IVA-compliant, it was to have a 3.6 flat-six engine with 280bhp and would only be distinguishable from the original by small details necessary for it to run on the road. It finally surfaced at the Silverstone Classic in July 2019 where I had the pleasure of seeing it and having a chat with its creator.
