2022 Everrati Land Rover Series IIA

Owner: Everrati Hosted by: Henry Poole & Co

This exceptional Land Rover Series IIA is part of a fresh restoration culture that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary electric propulsion. While the car has been renovated to the highest level by Land Rover specialists, including the fitment of a galvanised bulkhead and chassis, the in-house-developed EV powertrain drivetrain is all new. There’s a 60kWh battery pack with advanced battery management and temperature control, plus regenerative braking. It has a range of up to 150 miles, but the 300Nm torque makes it perfect for traversing almost every obstacle in front of it.

The interior is far more luxurious than originally, with Bridge of Weir leather throughout. Customisation is key to the Everrati Land Rover, with endless combinations of bespoke extras, and both handmade Mohair Soft Top and Safari Hard Top formats are available.

It also has power steering, but retains all the elements that make Land Rovers special – two- and four-wheel-drive, as well as high/low modes for traction or dynamic ability. Bespoke finance packages are available. www.everrati.com

1960 CEGGA Ferrari 250TR

Owner: David Cooke

The latest in an impressive line-up of racing-car restoration projects completed under ex-Harlequins and England rugby player – and Historic motor sport fan – David Cooke, this CEGGA Ferrari 250TR has a fascinating history. Six years ago, David read the story of Swiss brothers Claude and Georges Gachnang and their Scuderia CEGGA team – and he tracked them down and asked them to help him recreate a tool-room copy of the Scaglietti-bodied racer and hillclimber that back in 1960 they had built from the wreck of a 1958 250TR.

Fired up by the idea, the nowoctogenarians agreed to provide drawings, detailed technical spec and hands-on help to enable David and the Neil Twyman team to build the car around original Ferrari parts including a centre chassis section. The aluminium body was hand-built as was originally done by Scaglietti. The car was finished in time to race at the 2019 Goodwood Revival, and the plan is now for it to once again grace the hillclimbs and circuits that it tackled in period. www.ceggaferrari250.com

DEL GREGORY

1965 Porsche 356C

Owner: David Gandy Hosted by: Henry Poole & Co

Renowned model Gandy loves classics, and has just added this subtly modified 356C to his collection. He worked with LuxClassics from the first concepts to finding a donor and then the full bespoke restoration process, taking styling advice from car designer Ian Callum.

The custom-made bumpers are shorter and fit more closely to the body than the originals, while the painted wheels are also wider and fitted with knock-off hubs. Further neat touches include leather bonnet straps and a retrimmed interior. Finally, the lowered suspension gives a perfect stance.

2022 Morgan Super 3

Owner: Morgan Motor Company Hosted by: Dege & Skinner

Taking its inspiration from the jet age, Morgan’s new Super 3 three-wheeler melds the very best of automotivemanufacturing techniques, design tradition and craftsmanship with the latest tech to provide a uniquely exciting driving experience. A raft of customisation, accessory and upgrade options make each model unique, but the example on show at the Concours is even more special, thanks to its stunning bespoke trim by Savile Row stalwart Dege & Skinner.

The Super 3 is Morgan’s first cleansheet visual design since the arrival of the Aero 8 in 2000, and it pairs its sleek design language with a modern 1.5-litre Ford engine and super-formed aluminium monocoque construction.

Morgan design head Jonathan Wells explained: “During the jet age, the balance of form vs function was equalised. It was within these decades that the most aerodynamic forms were not only required, but also admired.” www.morgan-motor.com

2022 Bizzarrini 5300 GT

Owner: Bizzarrini Hosted by: Holland & Sherry

Giotto Bizzarrini was the mastermind behind the Ferrari 250s SWB and GTO – and designed the Lamborghini V12, too – and now his slippery 1965 5300 GT has been revisited by a stunning recreation.

Bizzarrini brand owner Pegasus Holdings is making a Revival series of 25 authentic interpretations in the image of Giotto’s ’65 Le Mans class-winner. Built in the UK by RML, it features the same V8 engine as was used in period. Each example can be modified to match the customer’s spec. All this combined with superb chassis engineering delivers a sublime drive. www.bizzarrini.com

2022 Caton Healey

Owner: Envisage Group Hosted by: Scabal

The Caton looks at first glance like your typical Healey 100, but it has been extensively re-engineered both mechanically and in its all-new bodywork. The result uses the same basic chassis and running gear as the original, but with a smoother, restyled body and higher-quality interior.

It’s built using a fascinating mix of current OEM-level technology and traditional craftsmanship skills, combining parent company Envisage Group’s bespoke engineering knowhow with the decades-old experience attained by JME Healeys.

Only 25 cars will be produced, each one tailored to customer spec. Its chassis undergoes a complete restoration, suspension and brakes are uprated, the engine is tuned and a new five-speed gearbox is fitted. Most strikingly, the interior is re-engineered and bespoke retrimmed to extremely high quality. www.caton.uk

1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Series V

Owner: RM Sotheby’s Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

This sublime 6C 1750 has an extensive documented ownership history and even participated in the 1933 Mille Miglia. It has been sympathetically restored, and is one of the oldest cars to appear at the Concours on Savile Row.

Alfa introduced the 6C in 1925 to build on its excellent track record in motor sport during the inter-war years, with star drivers such as Antonio Ascari and Giuseppe Campari. Adhering to the ‘win on Sunday, sell on Monday’ ethos, aspects of the competition cars’ engineering would feed into the burgeoning road-model range. The 6C – named for its straight-six engine – could be adapted into Sedan, Spider, Cabriolet, Gran Turismo or Super Sport form by coachbuilders. This Zagato-bodied Gran Sport Series V was the finest Italian sports car money could buy. It went through several hands in Italy before being transported to Africa and, decades later, the UK. It remained in storage for years before undergoing a rebuild with the aim of extolling the virtues of its originality while retaining its usability. www.rmsothebys.com

2022 McLaren Artura

Owner: McLaren Automotive Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

McLaren Automotive heralds an allnew era with the Artura, its first seriesproduction high-performance supercar to boast a hybrid drivetrain. Based on the state-of-the-art McLaren Carbon Fibre Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), it pushes the legendary British car manufacturer’s relentless pursuit of lightness to another level, while the minimal, beautiful design ensures that aerodynamic efficiency is more advanced than ever.

From the rear suspension to the advanced E-diff, every new element contributes to a uniquely intense driving experience. Ultra-light supercar engineering; blistering electrified power; sublime agility and engagement… the Artura is McLaren to the core.

Appropriately, the car is presented in partnership with Savile Row’s Ozwald Boateng, who has brought tailoring to a whole new generation of men with his transformational use of colour, cut and fabric that fuses traditional classic British tailoring with a high-end modern design. This pairing makes a very rare sighting of a very special car even more exciting. https://cars.mclaren.com

1950 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta

Owner: Clive Beecham Hosted by: Gieves & Hawkes

This 1950 166MM – chassis 0064M and no. 24 of only 25 – has an amazing story; it was built for Fiat empire heir and eventual owner of Ferrari itself, Giovanni Agnelli. He put his personal stamp on the car from the start, thanks to unique ‘teardrop’ rear lights, distinctive twotone paint and a custom dashboard.

Developed from the 125S by Milan’s Carrozzeria Touring, the 1948 Barchetta revolutionised sports car design with its V12 motor and ultra-thin Superleggera bodywork. The MM established Ferrari in international racing with a fi rst place at the 1949 Mille Miglia, plus victories at Le Mans and Spa. Post-Agnelli, 0064M was owned by Ferrari concessionaire and Ecurie Francorchamps grandee Jacques Swaters for 46 years, during which it was nicknamed ‘Nonna’ (Italian for Grandma), restored and displayed at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The current owner bought Nonna in 2012, and drove it in the Mille Miglia in 2013 and 2018, while the Ferrari also won the Coppa D’Oro at Villa D’Este in 2015. It’s appeared in two exhibitions at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena as well.

Power: 140bhp | Top speed: 125mph 0-60mph: 10.0 seconds

2022 Maserati MC20

Owner: HR Owen Hosted by: Cad & The Dandy

The Maserati MC20 is the fi rst midengined supercar from the Modenese marque since the thunderous MC12 of the 2000s, and represents a fresh start for The Trident. At its heart is the 3.0litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6, which uses indirect injection and Formula 1-inspired twin-spark plugs to deliver outrageous performance, with 0-60mph taking less than three seconds. However, thanks to adaptive damping it’s as comfortable a cruiser as any of the grand tourers in Maserati’s vibrant heritage.

While the MC20 can be ordered in standard colours including Bianco Audace, Nero Enigma and Rosso Vicente, the Fuoriserie programme allows for an almost infi nite array of hues, whether your inspiration comes from Maserati’s rich motor sport history or cutting-edge contemporary style.

This car is fi nished in Grigio Mistero with the optional Carbonfi bre Pack and 20in Birdcage wheels, with a Nero leather interior with Rosso stitching and a stitched Trident on the headrest. There’s also a Sonus Faber sound system and a carbonfi bre engine cover. www.maserati.com

1964 Jaguar Kingsman E-type

Owner: Eagle E-types Hosted by: Huntsman/Hagerty

Upgraded by specialist Eagle, this early 4.2-litre E-type starred in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. When MARV Productions was seeking a Jaguar for its hero, played by Taron Egerton, Eagle had recently overhauled this car with dark-green paint, leather trim and many upgrades. Perfect for a super-spy about town...

Eagle’s bespoke service is universally reviewed in tailoring terminology. Each made-to-order restoration is precisely specifi ed to suit the owner’s driving style, personal requests and even their body shape. www.eaglegb.com

2022 Czinger 21C

Owner: Czinger Hosted by: Norton & Sons

Say hello to the Czinger 21C – it’s the fi rst public showing of the car in the UK. This hybrid is at the sharp edge of hypercar design; not only does its in-house drivetrain have the most engine-dense internal-combustion unit with a huge combined 1233bhp, but it’s the fi rst car to be 3D printed.

Every 21C is designed with a patented human-AI combination, with each part optimised for performance, weight and packaging. The car weighs only 1250kg dry, but the way the parts have been designed in the same manner as in nature, there’s excellent rigidity and strength, too. The result is gobsmacking performance: it’ll blast from 0-62mph in 1.9 seconds, with 186mph arriving just 6.6 seconds later.

Just 80 21Cs will be built, with two versions available; a high-downforce confi guration or a low-drag variant. Both are powered by that in-house Czinger powertrain, and each will be built to the bespoke needs of the customer. www.czinger.com

Power: 1233bhp | Top speed: 253mph 0-62mph: 1.9 seconds

1952 Ferrari 225S Competition Berlinetta

Owner: Classic Motor Hub Hosted by: Cad & The Dandy/Chopard

One of six 225S Competition Berlinettas built, this Vignale-bodied V12 Ferrari was commissioned in 1952 by Scuderia Inter founder Count Antonio ‘Bruno’ Sterzi. The car was entered into the 1952 Mille Miglia, and went on to win the Coppa della Toscana, Bolzano-Mendola Hillclimb and Coppa InterEuropa di Monza.

Sterzi sold it to Ferrari patron Siro Sbraci of Florence in 1954, and a year later it went to Rome Maserati dealer Guglielmo ‘Mimmo’ Dei, who would go on to found the Centro Sud racing equippe. www.classicmotorhub.com

2022 Aston Martin DBX707

Owner: Aston Martin Hosted by: JP Hackett

Elevating prestige sports car brand Aston Martin to the pinnacle of the highperformance SUV segment, the flagship DBX707 is claimed to be the fastest, most powerful and best-handling machine in its luxury genre. It features a tuned 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that boasts increased power to 707PS (697bhp).

Building The Legend E-type Reimagined

Owner: Building The Legend Hosted by: Gieves & Hawkes

Building The Legend has forged its name with its 1966 Le Mans Prototype evocations, and it has now focused its attention on 24 bespoke takes on the Jaguar E-type. The bodystyle and finish are said to be limited only by the owner’s imagination, with each one hand-crafted with a blend of traditional skills and cutting-edge tech, in coupé, speedster, roadster or low-drag racing-car form.

At the heart is a version of BTL’s Tera quad-cam V12 in either 6.1- or 6.8-litre guise. This has been inspired by the howling V12s from Ferrari that screamed around the Le Mans circuit, and the missed opportunity for Jaguar to follow up its straight-six success in endurance racing with a V12. The engine is an evolution of the latter concept, with between 350bhp and 650bhp available. The green car pictured above has a 550bhp 6.1-litre engine, for instance.

The cars’ bespoke nature continues elsewhere, with a vast range of options to tailor everything to your needs, from interior creature comforts to chassis and running-gear upgrades. www.buildingthelegend.co.uk

2021 Aston Martin Speedster

Owner: Private owner Hosted by: JP Hackett

Created by the bespoke customisation service Q by Aston Martin, this uncompromising, visceral two-seater draws inspiration from both the brand’s rich racing history and aeronautical design. Only 88 examples will be built. Billed as a “living show car”, it underlines Aston’s commitment to delivering stunning machines using the engineering ingenuity and advanced materials evident throughout the entire range.

Power comes from a 5.2-litre, twinturbo V12, mated to a ZF eight-speed auto ’box. The latest bonded-aluminium architecture creates a unique chassis, while the bespoke body is constructed from carbonfibre. The cabin specification pushes new boundaries, using a mix of traditional and modern materials.

Finishes include one inspired by the legendary F/A-18 fighter jet, born from a collaboration with Boeing and finished in Skyfall Silver with satin black on the exhaust tips, vent grilles and vanes. An historic DBR1 spec is also available, with meticulously crafted details that pay homage to the 1959 Le Mans-winning original. www.astonmartin.com

2022 Morgan Plus Six

Owner: Morgan Motor Company Hosted by: Dege & Skinner

With addictive power, unrivalled exhilaration, and traditional styling and craftsmanship, the hand-built Plus Six is a true driver’s sports car that heralds a new era of performance and refinement for the Morgan range. It’s the most dynamically capable model the British brand has ever produced. The marque’s iconic classic silhouette is underpinned by an all-new CX-Generation aluminiumbonded platform and a 335bhp straightsix BMW Turbo powertrain, while every component has been refined or redesigned to create this all-new model.

As Morgan’s flagship, the Plus Six boasts superb material quality and finish. Both on the outside and in the driver-focused cockpit, greater levels of customisation than ever present the customer with a flexible canvas upon which to impart their own personality. In addition, a composite removable hard-top inspired by 1960s road racers is available as standard on the Plus Six Touring. As a finishing touch, the full production of your personal car can be recorded in a stunning, 52-page coffeetable book. Now that’s bespoke service! www.morgan-motor.com

1962 Facel Vega Facel II

Owner: Steve Groves

French manufacturer Facel Vega made exclusive GTs using big American engines. The Facel II arrived in 1961, and this car was bought new by Sir Arthur Frederick Pullman Wheeler, having appeared at the Earls Court Motor Show. It was one of just two right-handdrive High Output manuals fitted with a larger, 6765cc Chrysler V8.

It went through various owners, colour changes and modifications before being restored in 1997 by Romance of Rust. It then passed through several more hands before the current owner returned it to the London-based restorer for further honing. www.romanceofrust.com

1951/1952 Dannenhauer & Stauss Cabriolet

Owner: Mark Reynolds

In spring 1950 German coachbuilder Gottfried Dannenhauer set up Dannenhauer & Stauss with his son-in-law Kurt Stauss. Gottfried had previously worked at Karosseriewerk Reutter when it built prototype pre-war Volkswagens, and now D&S commissioned designer Wagner & Oswald to work with it producing stylish coachbuilt cars using Beetle floorpans and running gear. Around 100 convertibles were manufactured between 1950 and 1957.

This example’s VW donor was made on October 14, 1950, and the D&S bodywork was fitted in late 1951 or early 1952. Its history up until 1979 is unknown, but at that point it was bought by an Austrian who carried out a rolling restoration over 40 years.

The Cabriolet came into the hands of Hampshire’s Just Kampers in 2019. It underwent a 3000-hour restoration, and was upgraded with periodsuitable 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A running gear. www.justkampers.com

1934 BarnatoHassan Bentley

Owner: William Medcalf Vintage Bentley

This legend is one of the all-time greats of pre-war racing and record-breaking, achieving more than 140mph on the famously bumpy and dangerous concrete-banked Brooklands circuit. Built for ex-Bentley Motors chairman Woolf Barnato by brilliant engineer Wally Hassan, it was developed and raced from 1934 until 1938, before being moved into storage for the war.

The car retains its original chassis and 8.0-litre engine. It’s fitted with the original-style single-seater bodywork, but the later two-seater body has also been kept. https://vintagebentley.com

2022 Bentley Bacalar

Owner: Bentley Motors Hosted by: H Huntsman & Sons

Not only is the Bacalar the most costly and bespoke Bentley of the modern era, it also marks the Crewe marque’s return to the pinnacle of high-end coachbuilding – thus making this engineering prototype’s appearance on Savile Row even more pertinent.

The 6.0-litre W12-powered, four-wheel-drive two-seater by Bentley Mulliner – the world’s oldest coachbuilder – heralds a new threeportfolio future for the brand: Classic, Collections and Coachbuilt. It delivers the ultimate expression of open-top, driver-focused grand touring, and only 12 cars will be designed, engineered and hand-crafted to individual customers’ tastes. All of these have already been allocated. Sustainable craftsmanship, ethically sourced materials and a carbonneutral build facility reflect Bentley’s commitment to an eco-friendly future. www.bentleymotors.com

1997 Ferrari F50

Owner: RM Sotheby’s Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

Taking its inspiration from the Pininfarina-designed 1989 Ferrari Mythos concept car, and created to celebrate Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, the iconic mid-engined F50 (Type F130) arrived back in 1995 as the successor to the F40. The two-door, two-seat, targa-top sports car was manufactured through until July 1997, with a total of 349 examples passing through the marque’s legendary factory gates in the town of Maranello, Italy.

Described by its maker as the “closest thing to a road-going Formula 1 car the company had ever built”, the F50 featured a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated Tipo F130B 60-valve V12 powerplant that was developed from the 3.5-litre V12 that Scuderia Ferrari used in its 1990 641 F1 car. The model on show at the Concours on Savile Row is one of 302 examples that were painted in the most popular factory hue for both this model and Ferraris in general – Rosso Corsa, or bright red. It shows a mere 24,000 miles on the clock and – very unusually – was delivered in right-hand-drive format to the UK from new. www.rmsothebys.com

2022 McLaren Elva

Owner: McLaren Automotive Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

The lightest modern McLaren is perhaps the one with the purest focus – ultimate performance prowess, on road and track. The fifth member of the Ultimate Series, the Elva takes its extreme aesthetic approach from the all-conquering 1960s GTs such as the M1A, M1B and M1C. Its name comes from that time, too, when Elva manufactured and supported a customer-racing version of the M1A.

As with those outrageous machines that founder Bruce drove so adeptly, the Elva blends big power with as low a kerbweight as possible. The midmounted 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 kicks out 802bhp – enough to blast to 60mph in around 2.6 seconds and on to 203mph. It’s the most powerful non-hybridised McLaren ever. The two-door speedster body is crafted from carbonfibre, as is the chassis. The lightweighting processes extend to the brakes, with 1kg shaved by using titanium calipers. To save further weight, the body uses just three main panels. Each car is built to order by the bespoke MSO department; the model on Savile Row has a visual carbonfibre finish with a teal tint, with brushed champagne brightwork. https://cars.mclaren.com

Power: 802bhp | Top speed: 203mph 0-62mph: 2.8 seconds

1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spider

Owner: Ronald Stern Hosted by: Gieves & Hawkes

All Testarossas are special, but you’re looking at something truly unique – the only Testarossa Spider built by Ferrari. While the likes of Pininfarina and Straman would fulfil special orders, the one Ferrarimade example was a gift for l’Avvocato Giovanni ‘Gianni’ Agnelli to celebrate the anniversary of him taking over Fiat.

The car was registered with the plate TO 00000G in Turin in June 1986 to IFI Spa, the financial firm owned by Agnelli. It was then registered to Gianni less than a year later. It’s finished in Argento 101/C because AG (for Agnelli Gianni) is the symbol for silver in the periodic table.

While the car obviously sports extra switchgear to operate the hood and roll hoop, if you look closely you can see how it was built to exactly suit Agnelli’s needs. In his 30s he’d seriously injured his left leg in a car accident, so Ferrari’s engineers thought up a novel system to ease long-distance comfort. At the press of a button the clutch pedal retracts and the gears change automatically via a Valeo electronic clutch system. This set-up was also later used on Agnelli’s bespoke Ferrari F40.

Power: 385bhp | Top speed: 171mph 0-60mph: 5.2 seconds

1960 Ferrari 250GT PF Coupé

Owner: Cici Muldoon Hosted by: The Deck

The 250GT PF Coupé represents the point at which sales of Ferrari’s road cars began to take off. The 3.0-litre Colombo V12-powered model was built in higher numbers than any previous Ferrari, with coachbuilder Pinin Farina constructing a new factory to cope.

All the same, a mere 353 examples were built from 1958, over three different engine variations. Only around half of the production run is thought to have survived today, as many were turned into GTO and other replicas.

This stunning example, 1743GT, is one of the later cars. It was commissioned by the 1957 European hillclimb champion Willy Daetwyler, and supplied via Eleanor von Neumann’s dealership in Los Angeles, California. Willy specified a competition engine, with three 40 DCL/6 Webers, velocity stacks, disc brakes, high-lift camshafts, limited-slip differential, Borrani wire wheels and an Abarth exhaust. It had lived its entire life in the US, and has only recently been imported into the UK by its owner, the entrepreneur, scientist and concours judge Cici Muldoon.

1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Piccadilly Roadster

Owner: Ashton Keynes Vintage Restorations

The revered Silver Ghost contributed to Rolls-Royce’s reputation for making the world’s greatest cars, and this Piccadilly Roadster is one of four with Merrimac coachwork. It was built at Rolls-Royce’s Springfield, Massachusetts factory for ER Campbell of the soup-producing firm.

After three years he sold it to Henry MacDonald of New York, and from 1946 it passed through owners in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Michigan, before heading to the UK. Dealer Ivor Bleaney kept it until 2005, and P&A Wood restored it for its next owner. www.akvr.com

1937 Bentley 4¼ Litre Sedanca Coupé by Gurney Nutting

Owner: Simon Taylor Hosted by: Huntsman

Commissioned in 1936 by the Vicomtesse Yvonne Cahen d’Anvers, this Bentley was bodied by Gurney Nutting in a style similar to that of the Hispano-Suiza of her husband Anthony Gustav de Rothschild. The sweeping coupé was a marked contrast to the more reserved Gurney Nutting offerings, but it took so long to construct that the Vicomtesse lost interest and bought something else.

HR Owen promptly sold it, and after 20 years the car headed to the US. It stayed there until the late 1990s, when journalist and commentator Simon Taylor brought it back to the UK. It was then treated to a four-year bodyoff restoration, after which it won the Montagu Trophy for the most elegant car from Europe at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Since then it’s taken a class win at Salon Privé and been used to tour Europe, including several holidays to France.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 GT

Owner: George Bamford Hosted by: Gieves & Hawkes

The 1959 London Motor Show was the stage upon which Aston Martin unveiled its lightweight, high-performance DB4 GT. Coming in at 85kg less than the regular DB4, and boasting a thinner aluminium skin and enclosed headlights, the GT went on to be raced extensively – and successfully – by many famous drivers.

A pure two-seater of which only 75 were built, its chassis was shorter than that of the standard car, while the side and rear windows were made of Plexiglas. The upgraded straight-six produced 302bhp, and some ‘comfortspec’ components were removed to help hone this circuit-ready machine as far as possible. It was the fastest road-legal production car of the time.

DB4GT No. 0125/R – or 18 TVX – was built in the Experimental Department as a Master Project car and sold new to John Ogier’s Essex Racing Stable. It was prepared as a Works model, and driven by the likes of Innes Ireland and Roy Salvadori – the latter of whom piloted it to a second-place finish to Stirling Moss in the Rob Walker Ferrari 250GT SWB at the 1960 Goodwood TT. It now forms part of the Bamford Collection.

1950 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica

Owner: c/o Girardo & Co. Hosted by: Chopard/Cad & The Dandy

In case of confusion, this is no ordinary ‘replica’. In 1949, Frazer Nash entered the first post-War Le Mans 24 Hours with a prototype High Speed version of its Competition Model. This featured a 120bhp 2.0-litre Bristol six-cylinder motor, close-ratio four-speed gearbox, shaft drive and open body with cycle guards.

Norman Culpan and HJ Aldington finished an incredible third place overall, averaging 126.4mph over 3033km. So strong was the resultant boost in sales, Frazer Nash built 34 Le Mans Replicas. These were driven to huge motor sport success by the likes of Stirling Moss, Roy Salvadori and Tony Brooks.

Among the most historically significant Le Mans Replicas, HBC 1 has a stunning period competition history including entries at Le Mans, Reims, Goodwood and in the RAC TT. Decades later, after a comprehensive rebuild by Frazer Nash specialist Blakeney Motorsport, the car was driven by Moss during the 2008 Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, and it has since appeared at the Goodwood Revival and Members’ Meeting and the Le Mans Classic. www.girardo.com
