Racing cars are like chocolate or even
better like suction cookies. You suck and suck till all the best are
gone. That means you throw away the envelope paper. One difference with
cars are that you can get some money from the old cow. Usually not so
much worth. The racing carrier has no feeling for that old mate who
helped you so bravely round the racing tracks. Just like an old cow,
which cannot produce enough with milk. It should be slaughtered. It is
not until after years, that the old owner understands that this nice car
should been preserved. My old Ferrari for instance is today
(2006) priced, it is true though renovated for over
$1.5 million.
But ... without the money that the old cow got me I couldn't get the
next one.
-------------------------------------------------------
From the very first beginning it was a Fiat 600 1956 in order to take me
to school in Strängnäs and later to Revingehed when I made my first 3
months in service.
 1959
I bought a Ford 34 cab. from F Westberg at Lidingö priced at 800 Skr.
But it showed up to be so bad that it was scraped.
Same year, 1959 25/7, I came over, with the help of my brother, a 32 Ford
Roadster in Hudiksvall from
Jan-Erik Eriksson
for 1200 Skr. This car was renovated and used for a racing driver course
at Karlskoga
1960 and for race driving at Skarpnäck, later for going to Skillingaryd,
military training camp, for my service. It was sold to a lorry driver in
Stockholm who at once broke the rear axle gears.
Now I had money to by a
Austin Cooper
spring 1962. It was lowered just like Picko Troberg´s car. Then I weared some tires at the race track of
Stockholm, Skarpnäck, and Karlskoga.
This nice little Cooper was left for change to a Triumph Herald 1962 at
Wohlin Cars, situated at "Söders Heights". It was quickly change after
one month!
 ... to a
MG Midget, 1962
20/12, at Hans Osterman. Without knowing
so much about racing. I trimmed this car and drove some times at
Skarpnäck and Karlskoga in the SSF racing serie in Sweden without any
greater progress.
1963 16/9 I bought a Lotus 15 from Wohlin Cars. The MG Midget was sold at the
same time for 7000 Skr. The Lotus was sold to Bengt Ramén 1965.
A TVR
Grantura came from Kronegårds Motor 1965. This was sold 1966 6/4 to Ulf Carlkvist.
Now I needed a transportation car and bougth a used Morris Minor model
1958.
Ferrari Monza was bought from
Åke Jansson
Nov 1965. Morris Minor disappeared as part payment á 800 Skr. A
Ferrari for totally 3800 Skr. Anyway I had to get a transport car. It
became
 a
used Volkswagen type 1 1961.
This I kept for some years but later sold. The Ferrari (s/n 0584M, reg. no B72243, A39913)
was loaded on ship
24/8 1968,
for Dan Marguiles,
for 1000£,
in England.
At once a Diva Valkyr DV7 was bought November 1968 from Erling
Kongsfeldt Denmark, and was sold 6/9 1970.
At once a Diva GT10F came into my hand and was sold after engine damage
in a race at Falkenberg. After this my racing in life was over and from now
I had only eyes for to be a racing organizer in my
Sport
Car Club and SSK.
