The Kincraft's basic layout and geometry was designed by Len Terry in 1964, based on the 1961-62 Gilby B-type F1 car he designed before he went to Lotus. Lotus colleague Martin Waide took over the detail design work and oversaw the construction at Jack Pearce's premises. It had its first outing at Brands on June 20th 1965, driven by Pearce, chassis no. Kincraft FL-012-1, indeed powered by a 4.7 (289) Ford V8. Pearce raced it twice, then John Hine raced it, before it was sold to David Bridges, then it changed hands to Robin Darlington and then again to Jim Moore.
