Built by Bill Cowley, a serial builder of 750 Formula cars. The Cowley was built as a 'one-off' toy for his son, Nigel. Later it was turned into a race car. Subsequently bought by John Gasking who regularly raced in 750MC, before being sold to Janine Plain-Jones and raced by husband Charlie Plain-Jones. Charlie is also the series Austin 7 representative. Competing in Bert Hadley and H750F, it's fitted with Toyo road legal tyres. Was this the Cowley Mk2?

Constructed using 2" box section rails with double skin aluminium panels. Owner John Paul-Davies purchased from Cliff Ringrose and prior to that it was raced by Nicola Windley.

One of the most succesful H750F cars built. A 'new' car built to pre-74 regulations by John Britnell who sadly never got to race it due to the on-set of parkinsons. It's been raced by a number of drivers to a number of podium finishes.
