HISTORY:

Very well known and admired car at HSCC meetings. Originally a JRRDS car – used primarily by Malcolm Payne in the 1964, 65 seasons. Goodwood history 1964 & ‘65 (Payne) and ’66 (Mike Potter). Converted to Formula Ford in 1968. Crashed 1971 and used for parts. Purchased by Dick Tennant 1971 and stored along with second car from which he hoped to make one good one from two! Unfortunately this project never saw the light of day, and on Dick’s passing, the current owner acquired both cars from his estate in 2015. 

RESTORATION/REBUILD

Full restoration by Jon Waggitt 2016-2018 and fastidious no-expense-spared maintenance since. Most parts from Peter Denty, who also rebuilt the chassis in the Lotus 22/31 jig. Fully refreshed side-draught engine 2024 (only dyno time + 1 hr racing) by Jeremy Bennett (Nemesis Racing). Gearbox by Jono at Racing transmissions.

Also eligible for Formula Junior Class G1 – and this car has actually raced with FJHRA at Silverstone Classic. Winner of the Warwick Banks Trophy for Historic Formula 3 – (Class A) for 2 seasons. Tyres – nearly new, only two meetings – noting Class A tyres are considerably cheaper and last 3 times as long as class B.
