I bought the car from Mr. Moulds in 2008 and restored the car to it's original Buick alloy V8 engine and retain the car today a 3 owner car. This car also was certified by Mr. John Crossle as the car in the book!

I also found this on the Bonhams website referencing a car sold by them a couple of years ago. Im not sure if this is a 9S though

.....All the Crosslé sports-racing cars (5S, 7S, and 9S) were designed and built to accommodate various engine and gearbox combinations, depending on the customer's requirements. Chassis number 'CS-S64-13' was ordered new by Brian Nelson, and supplied with a Daimler SP250 V8 engine coupled to a Jack Knight gearbox. Nelson, who is remembered as one of Ireland's top drivers in Formula 2 and international rallying, competed in 'CS-S64-13' throughout the 1964 and 1965 seasons, including events at Phoenix Park, Bishops Court, and Kirkstown. Over the winter of 1964/1965, the car was modified to accept the wider bodywork introduced by the factory for the 7S model, but continued to compete throughout the 1965 season with the Daimler V8. In 1966, in line with other cars being developed by the factory, it became a 9S with a 2.0-litre BMW engine.

'CS-S64-13' was then sold to Michael Martin and then to John le Sage, who fitted a 2.5-litre Repco engine. Around 1968, the Crosslé was brought to the USA by a Robert Winkelman, subsequently passing into the ownership of Jim Profit. He sold the car to Jim Wallace in 1977, who in turn sold it to Jim Miller in 1980. Jim Miller then proceeded to race 'CS-S64-13' until November 1988, firstly with a Buick engine and latterly with an Oldsmobile. Jim Miller passed away in April 1989 and in February 1990 his widow sold the car (see email printout on file).

During the car's time in the USA, the Crosslé Car Company has kept in close contact with all the owners. When its then owner Neil Davies returned the car to them in the mid-2000s for restoration, they were able to confirm its history, noting that it had even retained its original braking and suspension systems! The extensive history files contain correspondence with the factory from very early in the car's life, together with press cuttings and numerous bills.

'CS-S64-13' benefits from recent extensive renovation and maintenance by historic racing car specialists, R M Wilson Engineering, as evidenced by bills of file dating from 2015/2016 totalling many thousands of pounds (see file). The car is powered by a freshly rebuilt 4.6-litre Buick V8 engine breathing via a quartet of Weber 48 IDF carburettors, which produces a maximum of 396.5bhp at 6,575rpm (see dynamometer printout on file).

Now restored to its original 1965 specification,.......
