I'm just trying to put together a history of each Gould hill climb car and it seems that Chassis 2 (the Fry/Moran/etc.) car was originally a 2.5 Hart-engined car for Tom Brown. By mid-season 1997 it was powered by a 3.5 Judd CV and with Richard Fry. Contemporary reports confirm the first two GR37s were Hart-engined originally, but Fry's car may have been based on an RT36 tub (can anyone confirm?).
Following its Shelsley crash in 2000, the car apparently went back to Gould and when I saw it again in August of that year it was mainly in bare carbon fibre finish, with only the rear wing showing signs of its previous colours. It was still with Richard Fry at that point.
I think this clears things up a bit, but I do wonder if Gould re-chassised the car?
