Equipment
1,960cc Lea Francis 4 cylinder, 145 or so hp, two dual choke carbs, 4 speed pre selector gearbox, polished alloy wide four wheels.
Condition
Built from the whole cloth but from mostly original Connaught components including the frame and rear suspension by Jack and John Horton A short wheelbase F2 car ideal for tight circuits or hillclimbs Denis Jenkinson might call this a Reconstruction, although the car as built never existed in the Fifties FIA Technical Passport
Market commentary
While not likely to mix it up with F2 Ferraris or Maseratis of the period this Connaught has visual appeal and, reportedly, benign handling that commends it to drivers. Its FIA eligibility is a significant advantage and it is, despite its bitsa origins, a sound value at this price for someone seeking a competitive, sleekly styled, early Fifties formula car to race in historic events.
