History

This car is one of the last, if not the last, built by the factory. It was purchased by the first owner
from the Davrian
factory (in Wales) and used as a road car for about ten years or so. At the beginning of 1995 the work
undertaken to use the car in the modified class for hillclimbs was completed. During 1995 it was
entered in about 8 hillclimbs or so, including winning the Davrian class at Longleat (see New Davrian
Register newsletter issue 3) but then the owner decided to sell it. The current owner purchased the car
on 9-12-95 and has continued to used the car on hillclimbs.


Competition History

The car has lowered the Davrian class record at Longleat 1996
(see New Davrian Register newsletter issue 4, two articles). It has just won the 1997 Davrian class
at Longleat hillclimb for the third time (1996 (see New Davrian Register newsletter issue 5, two
articles). Additionally I have come third in the CSMA championship in 1997. All parts are still
available from Team Duffee Engineering in the UK.
