Two Connaughts both weird and wonderful:- the B- series streamliner from 1955 (remember the dinky toy version?) and the later (1957?) Tooth paste tube bodied car.

Another was the one and only Tec Mec, not finished until late 1959, fitted with a 250F Maser engine. Underfunded and underdeveloped and by that time, having its engine in the wrong place, it only appeared at the last GP (Sebring) of the season where it completed just 6 laps. Later restored by Tom Wheatcroft, I have since seen it at a number of historic events including the Goodwood Revival.
