Raceco/Manfred Hecht Guzzi catalog
« on: October 24, 2016, 09:17:14 PM »
As posted on the MGNOC Facebook site: Anyone have a Raceco/Manfred Hecht Guzzi speed parts and services catalog from the 90s? The one I had here for years had a yellow cover with a line drawing of a racer. Scans OK too! Need info on the Stage One, Stage two (etc) kits.

Thanks!!

I'll poke around in the "archives". RACECO UK have a Facebook page.

Raceco US was a one-man (Manfred Hecht)  show run out of a bunker in Brooklyn NY.  No connection to Raceco UK.

Much appreciated everyone! Yeah, there's no connection between Manfred Raceco in NY and the very successful company using the same name in the UK, but Hecht did purchase race frames from them. Raceco UK under different management now.   

Some emailed cell phone shots of the table of contents and 'basic' stage packages is all I really need. Shooter's discretion! I threw away lots of damaged.dirty stuff when I moved my office last spring and think some of this was hiding in there.

Thanks again! This Raceco SP1000 is the reason for my research-

This only apply's to those who went to Manfred's place in Brooklyn. I believe that the space on the lower left center with the two open doors was where Manfred lived and worked. Photo is from 1905.  I rented a loft that overlooked Manfred's place back in the 1980's, now it is a multi-million dollar apartment but that is another story.



Still looking for the brochure.
