Make: Connaught L2 , 2L, Racing Car
Type: RHD - MPH 329
Year: 1948
This is the first production car, Connaught made.
Connaught (Continental Automobiles), was founded in 1946 by designer engineers Rodney Clarke and Mike Oliver. Initially, the company specialised in preparing and tuning prewar Grand Prix machinery such as Bugatti T59 and Maserati 8CM.
With the help of a financial backer (Mc Alpine), the young company decided to build their onw designed race cars. This was the L2 sport racing car, based on heavily uprated Lea-Francis running gear.
The first 2 cars produced (MPH329 and MPH996) distincted themselves by winning immediately the races they were entered in (Prescott 12th of June 1949, Goodwood 13th of August 1949, Blanford meeting 1949).
As you can see from the photographs, MPH329 is nowadays still in excellent racing condition. Still equiped as from original with the uprated 2 liter Lea-Francis engine fed by 4 Amal carburettors. Well maintained by careful owners over the years, this racing car could be an exciting and very interesting entry to all important historic race events.
I have an impressive documentation file which ofcourse will come with this race car. Particularly the previous race results illustrated with charming black/white photographs. Amongst these found excellent competition results obtained by this Connaught with several 1st, 2nd and 3rd places on circuits all over England (Silverstone, Goodwood, Prescott) but also abroad (Chimay-Belgium).
In conclusion, this Connaught L2 race car represents a once in a liftime opportunity for someone who could like to participate at all major historic race events without having to break the bank.

Description:
This stunning car (chassis #118642) was delivered in Switzerland in 2000 and was raced during one season in the Challenge series. In 2001 the vehicle was sold to a collector having covered 6500km. In 2002 modifications where carried out and the car received a swiss road registration. In 2006 the owner decided to upgrade the car to full GT specification. Ventilated endurance brakes where fitted, the bodywork was modified, front and rear sploilers were added. The air inttake and ECU were modified to increase power to 425 bhp. In 2007 the mechanicals, engine and gearbox were revised, new cambelts were fitted. The F1 controls, wheel barings, brake disks, engine starter, alternator and exhaust manifolds were replaced as well. The car has now covered 28.000 km of which about 10.000 on race tracks. The cost of the modifications and servicing carried out in 2007 exceeds 75.000 Euros. The car comes with a passenger seat and harnesses and one additional set of wheels with rain tyres. The condition, both mechanically and cosmetically can only be described as pristine. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a stunning 360 GT, capable of very impressive perfomance on the track and perfectly enjoyable on open roads as well.
