Dean Butler http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Allards/message/6697 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Allards/message/6697 Ron: Why do you even need an oil cooler with a Caddy engine? I have never seen oil temps high enough to require an oil cooler, even at Le Mans.

The reason why the chassis number is out of synch with other K2's is probably because the number was allocated Sat, 18 May 2013 14:36:24 GMT bowmanpj http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Allards/message/6692 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Allards/message/6692 Based on all the evidence and discussions, my personal opinion is that this car is definitely NOT a factory built coupe, but simply a roadster with an Fri, 17 May 2013 21:20:52 GMT Colin Warnes http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Allards/message/6691 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Allards/message/6691 He's the current owner.
