I'm probably not of much help, but I've had some contact with
Frank Harrison and the Harrison Racing Team. Years ago
(1965-67) I worked for an airplane racing team in Santa Ana, CA.
while attending college. I got to know the Harrison Racing Team
and used to drop by and "look". I bought their old race car,
a Maserati 450S (Chassis 4510, engine 4514). It was
eventually sold through Colin Crabbe in England to someone
in France. I've partially traced it through a number of owners.
In fact, that's a very slow ongoing project is to trace it completely
to whoever now owns it. Jerry Eisert was the chief mechanic or
team manager at the time. Last year I spoke with Mr. Harrison in
Tenn. He was quite interested in my quest for the history of the
450S. He was kind enough to send my his desk-top model of
the 450S that he had; quite a surprise when it arrived!
Anyway, the point I'm making is that Jerry Eisert might be a
good contact or maybe a check with Mr. Harrison. I don't have
Jerry's phone number but maybe he's still in the Orange County
area.
Good luck!
Steve
