HARM CAME A MORE MODEST 17TH IN HIS SHADOW MK1 BUT MANY PEOPLE (LIKE MYSELF) WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAWARE OF HIS MOTORING HERITAGE AS AN AUTOMOBILE DESIGNER.

HE WORKED IN THE TEAM DESIGNING THE PORSCHE 911 AND DESIGNED THE PORSCHE 924. FROM 1977 HE WORKED AS CHIEF OF DESIGN FOR FORD IN COLOGNE AND MOVED TO BMW IN 1985.
