1949 Iota P1 rolling chassis project ‘Puffin’ Billy’

  • 500cc Formula 3
  • This is a genuine period complete Iota rolling chassis complete with steering (drag links,box wheel etc.) and twin cylinder brakes.
  • The Iota was as some point covered into a Steam Car and is an interesting project that would result in a worthwhile and rare race car.
  • The car has been accepted by the 500 OA and I can help with a source of some of the rarer parts.
  • If seriously interested please contact richard <at> bishopmiller.co.uk for further details etc. I will be open to sensible offers or might swop for Stanguellini parts or a Hewland.

JP Prototype

  • This is the JP prototype car which was first raced in May 1950 and passed to Mirrilees Chassels who allowed Ron Flockhart to use it at Dunrod that year.
  • The car was been fully restored in 2010 with a 500cc Vincent engine which has just been rebuilt.
  • The car has extensive history and a 500OA VIF.
