Hi guys!
Looking to find out some history on this car. I’ve managed to trace it up until Ray Masters but I’m wondering where it was after him. The car currently resides in my garage after some restoration work carried out by John Seber on behalf of my late grandparents but I’ve only recently managed to get her started again after a few years laying dormant (I’ve seen a post from a year or so ago wondering where it was).
Any info on this car would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Liam

Hello, Liam.
I have the rear half of the bodywork which was used by Ted Lund in the 1940’s and recently removed by John Seber when he rebuilt the car.

Cheers Simon. I’ll check it out. My Grandad managed to source a certain amount of history from the car but this was before the times of internet so it’s all a bit vague! I’ll give the book a look, thanks for the reply! Colin, the plan is to get it race ready for next year, I’m an Auto Electrician by trade so I’m undergoing a crash course in mechanics from the time to be self sufficient if things go wrong (hopefully they won’t!) and to get it running as good as new off my own back.
Chris, is it the blue rear quarter by any chance? I remember seeing it lying around as a child before the car was rebuilt?
Thanks again for the replies guys!

Chris,
Don’t suppose you have a private email address? I’d be interested in reuniting it with the original car?
Cheers

That's a great plan Liam. I am sure Duncan Potter and Mark Dolton would
love to have you join the MMM Grids :)
