Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 1,767cc 106hp Lea Francis 4 cylinder. Raced by Kenneth McAlpine 49 51 with some success, 1st car of the first Connaught 3 car series. Very important in the UK, less so elsewhere. HGPCA accepted and track ready but showing some use and age.

Market commentary

Bought for +8,800 less than it sold for at Brooks Goodwood auction June 23, 2000. Connaught enthusiasts may be getting too old for historic racing events. Like an Ol Yellar or Echidna, Connaughts grow best in their home climate.
