9S engines....

There are 3 original 1965-66 Crossle 9S's.

The first 9S was chassis #27 (C9S-65-27) and it was the 1965-66 Harrison hillclimb car with a 3.5 Buick V8. The second car was chassis #28 (C9S-66-28) and it had a BMW M10 (BMW M10 1600 cc bored to the 2000 cc limit) It was bought new by John L'Amie and raced by him, Peter Gethin, and Derek Bennett with its most noteable race being the 1966 Tourist Trophy at Oulton Park.
The third and final car was chassis #29 (C9S-66-29) ,the Wingfield car, and it had a BMW M10 as well.

Chassis 27 with the V8 lives in the USA (California)
Chassis 28 with the BMW lives in Louisville KY and has been there since 1970-It has been in my family since 1970.
Chassis 29 -I last saw it as restored by Simon Hadfield and listed for sale on Race-Cars.com many years ago.
