weitere Informationen/more infos | This Brooklands replica stands out as being rather special indeed. Apart from being very well constructed to be as authentic a recreation as possible, there is no getting away from the fact it has been fitted with the original body from Brooklands Chassis 8073! How many Brooklands replicas can clam that?! Body Provenance: Brooklands 8073 has been in very long term ownership. Since 1961 in fact. According to a letter on file, I understand that during that ownership, 8073 has been rebuilt a couple of times. Firstly in 1967 when some of the steel panel work was changed to aluminum and then again in 2007 when Bruce Bellamy of Crewkerne was instructed to make a new ash frame for her. The original body from 8073 was left with Bruce at that time, which is how it came to be that this rare and desirable piece of automotive history was sold and subsequently fitted to VC 8620. (As I say a Letter on file confirms this) New lease of life: Now in possession of an original Brooklands body, this was the catalyst to construct VC8620 into the owner’s dreams. Using many original Riley 9 parts which had been collected over a number of years, construction began in earnest. Every part was inspected, reconditioned and assembled on a correct pattern Chassis with correct Riley 9 Chassis number as stated above. |
