I raced with Jimmy, and I'm sorry he's gone. But I wouldn't walk across the street to look at his motor." Eschrich purchased Dean's battered Porsche from a salvage company that, in turn, had pur chased it from the insurance firm. The doctor paid $1,000 for the wreck because, "It was a ter rific bargain the special motor alone was worth at least $4,000 new." Motor Repaired The, amateur racer spent about $500 repairing the damaged mo tor. He decided to put the motor inside a Lotus body. The Lotus he bought coincidentally turned out to be the same Lotus Dean had ordered but later cancelled in favor of the fatal Porsche.
