mid-60s Parnell sportscar
In 1966, Mike Spence successfully drove a 2 litre BRM powered Parnell sportscar in several british events. The car won the Goodwood Lavant Cup early in April then the Anerley Trophy Crystal Palace race the month after and finished second in the Amoc Martini Trophy at Silverstone in July.
Are photos (free for use), technical and historical information available about this beautiful car ? Who built it ? What did it become after the 1966 season ? |

The car ended up, without the engine, in the hands of the late Paul Kunkel who struggled and eventually failed to get the car accepted for HSCC racing-the absence of the correct engine mitigating against it . In despair Paul sold it, for very little money, to the US some time in the early 70's. Thereafter I know not. Interestingly I recall, it had a steel body-maybe it finally rusted away.

Thanks Jeremy.
Is that all? Does anybody remember it as it ran 30 years ago? |

I'm sure that this car was mentioned in another thread recently. Infact, I'm sure posted on it. I'll have a look around!

It's here:-
http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...ht=Parnell+BRM It was you, GTO Racing, who asked the question then, as well. I guess it's worth a second ask, though! |
