You are right Steve - it is Jim's who raced in Canada in the early 60s. I have only found these images of him to date

Didn't say I didn't have any pics just wanted to know if others had some...

Another great shot of 550-07 - haven't seen that one either!

That is definitely a 550A #49, but I don't think it is Muzzin as he always wore a red bubble helmet... It also looks like a european track

The coupe is 550-07, 50F is 550-06, 227 is 550-0088, not sure what the 550A is...

Interestingly I don't have any race record for 550-0088 as #227 it was either 12, 212 or 21. It is the only spyder with the 3 gills in the side...

With a bit of research, it is a whole new life for 550-0088. The owner after Lehr is Leon Robertson seen here at Stockton on March 27th, 1960. The current owner of 0088 is thrilled to say the least with the new discovery! (John, you are a legend - thanks for sharing the other pic of 0088 you posted )
