The X---- Porsche cars

[Porschinelle]

On the first raw on the left Petermax Muller special on the right Kurt Kuhnke VLK (Volstromlinusinen Leichtbau Konstruction)
On the second raw another special that I cannot identify
In the foreground a 328 BMW (a car built before the 2nd WW but still extensively used in local races up to the middle of the 50's
After having won several raczs the VLK slowly lost the advantage

[Porschinelle]

This car was then bought by Richard Trenkel who took the hood off

From 1949 to 1953 Richard Trenkel enter this VW special or eigen bau in many races

[Porschinelle]

Sorry made a mistake
Richard Trenkel above is seen driving one of the first Glockler in 1953
Here the correct Trenkel VW eigenbau based on nthe VLK without a roof

[Porschinelle]

Another famous VW eigenbau special is the Rometsch-Merkel who was Heinin Walter first race car as you may see in the first pages of this topic

[Porschinelle]

Now to go back to your find this car is powered by a Porsche engine and not by a VW engine as identify by the square shape of the exhaust outlets

Interesting to look at the exhaust pipes : the front pipe are of a smaller diameter than the back pipe no doubt a way to compensate the longer length of the back pipe
But no idea of the builder

Found the following entry list for the May 25th Eifelrennen sportcars under 2000 CC

[Porschinelle]

No car with race number 65 although some interesting names

Helmut Glockler on the Glockler number 3 (race number 29) first in class 1.5
Heinz Brendl on the Glockler number 1 (race number ?) first in class 1.1
Richard Trenkel on a Porsche (?) 2nd in class 1.1
Kurt Sauter (Sauter special)
Peter Max Muller (Muller eingenbau Porsche)
and even Huschke Von Hanstein : Porsche start number 39

[Porschinelle]

Kurt Sauter "special" was not Porsche powered but based on an Italian Stanguinelli

It was not Peter Max Muller whose car is well known

Only left with a mystery Richard Trenkel Porsche

Hi Gerard,

Do you also have anything on Mathieu Hezemans' special? I have the original print of this car but interested that it has Porsche badging on it...

Hi Andrew

Never heard of the above car before
Did some search and found the following

Mathieu Hezemans (1915/1985) father was running a garage in Eindhoven in the Nederlands
In the early 50's Mathieu built for himself a spezial sport car based on a VW bug chassis powered by a Porsche 1.5 stock engine
This car was mainly used for local races on the Zandwoort race track



Racing Sport cars for Mathieu Hezemans include only one race for his Spezial the 1953 August 2nd Eifelrennen on the Nurburgring
