History

The car and was shipped to North America with the other four
cars. The car was registered in the U.K. as
UJB-144 (sister car to John Chathams UJB-143 DD 300). This has been verified in England as the
cars were road registered in the U.K. before being shipped to Canada so they could be driven to
Silverstone for testing.
This car has been in Canada since leaving the U.K. It was raced for 3-4 years in Canada
and then used as a road car until 1970, then was parked until 1987. The car has had about 4
owners since leaving BMC Canada.
