Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Origil suspension, transmission, body and engine joined by a replica frame. Engine not installed but looks freshly rebuilt. A rare example of Colin Chapmans earliest ventures into formula racing but the source of the origil bits isnt known. Bought by Bob Sutherland in 1979, apparently never completed and should be an adventure for the new owner.

Market commentary

To all intents and purposes this is a very good buy even though the new owner has to be apprehensive about whether theres enough in the boxes to complete the project.
