History

Turner Sports Cars was based in Wolverhampton, England and was founded in 1950 by John
H. (Jack) Turner who had previously manufactured wheels and other racing components. The cars
were designed and built by Jack Turner. A total of about 670 cars were built from l95O to 1966
when production ceased. A feature of all Turners was a simple yet strong and effective chassis
constructed from large diameter steel tube. The body on all models was comprised of a glass
reinforced plastic (GRP) outer skin over a sheet metal inner body with aluminum doors (aluminum
outer skin stretched over a GRP inner molding) which sat atop the chassis. Independent front
suspension and rack and pinnion steering was based on BMC A Series components featuring pressed
steel wishbones with coil spring/damper umits. Rear suspension used a BMC A-Series live axle
coupled with multi-leaf transverse torsion bars and telescopic shock absorbers. The axle was
mounted on twin lower trailing arms wsth the transverse location being by Panhard Rnd.



Competition History

The car has been campaigned for the last two years by its current owner in
