I remember being told some years ago that 774 FYH was a bitsa built up from a crayford and the remains of a lotus. If I remember correctly it was also suggested that the body was made up from the bodies of 2 cars welded together. If anybody knows different please put me right, as this is all hearsay from Coombe Abbey about 8 years ago.

I think this is Nick Hunts car , and it is now in Australia as he took it with him when he moved. I don't know the history of it , but Nick uses BSC so you could try to get the story from the man himself.

This is the only pre-aeroflow crayford I have seen and it's a GT too.

Looks like it's built using an export shell. Are they all like that?

UGT 645 F not too far from that other reg#

i have a photo of UGT624F taken at the classic car auction at the g-mex centre in manchester in about 1988/9.it was looking very sorry for itself and sold for less than £1500.i will try and scan it but the quality is quite poor.
