Thanks Andy, I'm a great fan of the Peter Gregory K3 reps so looked similar apart from no supercharger out the front.
cheers, Mike.

GN 'Katipo', put together from a selection of GN chassis parts, and a hot 1100cc JAP 'dog ear' engine, by a visiting Kiwi in his 20s. A remarkable piece of work, he is detail obsessive and has made a wonderful job of it. It is quick too, now clothed in order to satisfy scrutineers.....
Under the drivers legs, is a subtly tweaked 4 speed open dog engagement GN transmission, driving the solid rear axle with 1 chain beside the seat. Drawing inspiration from Bolster's 'Bloody Mary'...Image

There's something about these pre-war specials that makes one's pulse race.

You should try driving one! But what really gets the pulse racing is facing up to the need to explain the implications of each blowup to one's family.....they are makers of workshop-widows
And schoolboy superfans....

That is 'Salome', a late 20s 3 wheeler Morgan, with a GN rear axle 4 wheel modification. Put together before the war by Jan Breyer, initially for 'CAPA' grasstrack racing in the Bristol area, but also hillclimbing. Campaigned pretty much continuously since, often by members of the Giles family, that pic is Jonathon, at a recent Shelsley. A formidable combination....below is an early incarnation of the car, Jan Breyer at the wheel, at Shelsley of course...Image

These hillclimb racers from so long ago are fascinating and driven with such abandon but so very quick.
