  • As said before Henk van Zalinge built several Hirondelle (5 ?)
    From what I read the Hirondelle Porsche had an aluminium body but all the other a plastic fiber body
    Henk to confirm
    Apparently most of the Hirondelle built have survived
    The Hirondelle Porsche has been found back without the engine and is being restaured

          • Please correct I made a typing error : correct spelling is Dick van Iperen not Operen
            Henk van Zalinge went on racing first for DKW and Auto Union in the early 60's and then with Porsche 904 of the Dutch National racing team
            His best result was at the 1964 Le Mans race with his good friend Ben Pon

                What is the electronic counter bass? I've always thought that a bass was a just a 4 string guitar tuned lower. I wasn't aware the pickups where much different?
