certainly not with small engines - Seems that every 23 built was originaly built as a 23B with a twin cam????? All of the period articles were apparently mistaken.
shame really. Some of the most interesting cars are the one off specials which ran in those classes. So far i've owned 'Pandora' :mid mounted A-Series engine, the Coldwell Mink: front engined 1000cc A Series F3 / clubmans car (split beam front axle but IRS!) and my current unknown project - maybe 1100 sports racer, early clubmans, F1200?????
They seem to have been a mainstay of club events in the mid 50s to mid 60s, but this doesn't seem to fit in with the high end sportscar grids seen at historic meetings - 'History isn't what it was' and all that
