What Do We Know About These?

Any Pics?....how Many?....who / What / Where / Why...etc

Thanks

This is purely from memory, but I think the Milmor(s) were built by Howard Milborrow. There was an article about their design and construction in the late-sixties 750MC publication "Design For Competition"

I remember a pale blue one being driven by Brian Small at many silverstone club meetings.

just encountered a man with a set of body moulds for these in his garage....but maybe it was your garage IVESPEED, as you don't know who you are replying to with all these pseudonyms.......anyway, they are/were a gorgeous shape. Isn't there a yellow one running in historics

A yellow one raced iirc at Mondello in 1970, cant recall who drove it , will need to check programmes .

One was advertised for sale through Autosport in the mid '90s, heralded as a Chevron beater, will scan pic when I find it, hope sooner than later

He and Arthur Mallock were great friends and rivals, both members of the 750MC.

I saw Brian competing at Wiscombe once.

I'm very interested in pictures and, if available, main dimensions (wheelbase, lenght, height, width, for eventual modelling purposes)

in the meantime I've found another pics, from a different sale advert (Autosport-nov89), is @ http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/6864/millmor2cb7.jpg

Bryan Small is my grandfather. i would be happy to find more info on the milmor if needed.

**John Turner** · 9 Oct 2009, 19:19 (Ref:2557717)

Very belated response; we all seemed to overlook it, Ian, but, yes, please. It has potential for the Chassis archive.

OASIS · 5 Mar 2010, 10:48 (Ref:2645415)

I believe the yellow Milmor Mk7 shown was actually built by Harding Engineering in Waltham St Lawrence in 1967/68. This was either the second or third version built. It was built as a weekend project so took longer than ideal to complete. Other than engine, gearbox and body mouldings it was completely built in house to plans supplied by Howard Milborrow though frequent reference was made to the Bryan Small version as it resided only a couple of miles away. It was raced only a few times before being disposed of, possibly to Alan Baillie.

An acquaintance has just brought this site to my attention. I can provide one or two photos of my original cars and give you a certain amount of information from memory. Howard Milborrow

Thats what I would call, a result!

Have received your email, Fausto, and have replied with photos. Hope they help!

moving on from the Gt i own bryan small's milmor mrk5 does anyone know anything about it thanxs

OASIS · 25 Jun 2011, 07:34 (Ref:2905604)

I have just seen enquiry re the ex - Bryan Small Mk5. I raced the car in F1200 from 1969-1971. It had been acquired a few years earlier (1964?) from Bryan by Harding Engineering and raced by Robin Wescott I believe. It was converted from a side-valve to 105E based engine and raced for several years before suffering a fairly severe accident. I then acquired the bent chassis in 1967/68 before completing a rebuild and using a low cost 105E engine built up by my mate/mechanic Mike Tarry. Though we had constant trouble with blowing head gaskets, we had much fun and good memories. Even managed to win a race at Silverstone.

It was eventually replaced by a Brabham BT15 for F4 in 1972.

I hope this helps fill in a few gaps in the car's history. I hope it gives you as much fun as it did us.

Sadly Bryan passed away recently, and we have a great number of photos and racing history to go through, so hopefully I should be able to give you more info about the mk5 afterwards.

For 28 years I believed the car above was a Lenham, however after checking the HSCC programme again I was surprised to find it is actually a Milmor Mk VII driven by Richard Brightman, can anyone tell me anything else about Milmor in general and or this car in particular ?
