Nigel Dawes built this Turner Special during 1957/58.
The car used the following parts:
Turner chassis, suspension and rear axle purchased 19th Dec 1957 (Chassis Number Unknown).
Ashley Laminates Ltd, bodyshell purchased 27th Dec 1957.
Austin A35 engine (948cc) purchased from Henley's 11th Jan 1958.
Tyres Michelin purchased 12th Feb 1958.
Aquaplane exhaust, manifold and mechanical tachometer kit, etc, purchased 28th Apr 1958.
The internal floor, boot, bulkheads and under wings were cut from 8'x 4' sheets of steel,then pop riveted together.
The car had a Turner badge and was taxed on July 14th 1958.
Nigel covered more than 40,000 miles and then sold it as part exchange to College Motors, Bristol for a Sunbeam Alpine in 1962.
Nigel and the Turner register would be most interested to know if the car is still on the road or in a barn somewhere.

I have checked the DVLA online database and there is no record of this Registration No, which normally indicates that it was never entered onto the new system back it in the late 1970's
