Description

—This was the first of three works replicas built by Chestnut House all of which featured four aluminium wings, boots and the very rare aluminium Surrey Tops. Moss Europe were very much involved in the project and made it possible to replace a very considerable proportion of the parts used.

The car was driven by Tony Dron to second place on the Clumber Park Rally and by Roger Clark on Charrington’s Historic. It was used too to win the first and only Gold Medal awarded on the first and toughest Le Jog.
