an LHD (!) Singer engined HRG 1500 in the pre war grid
quite apart from the fact, that a proper pre war HRG Le Mans entry should be of the Meadows engined variety, I strongly believe this to be a post war car, passed off as a pre war, the owners certainly made sure to keep the bonnet cover shut and the chassis plate hidden, I really tried to get a peek but never managed
Anyway, I dont see how one should be able to get an HTP for a left hooker that was never made and raced in period

a 1969 (!) Porsche 914, this is interesting, because it cant be a proper 6 cylinder car then, as 914-6 production only started in 1970

I am sure there are more.....

Rudolf,the HRG has always had it's Singer engine,if you had asked to look under the bonnet,I'm sure you would have been made more than welcome.
