  1. Those of you who have been following my JW4 rebuild thread will know I have quite an interest in anything relating historic Formula 4, and in the Coy's auction listing for the Autosport show happens to be a Tecno Formula IV car which was extracted 2-weeks ago from the garage of motorcycle dealer Don Hichcock. http://www.coys.co.uk/cars/circa-1964-tecno-k250-f4 Unfortunately I can't make it to the show or auction myself and Coy's have so far been unresponsive to my requests to view it at their premises before it is taken to the auction. Whilst I'm not looking to buy (I've got enough cars already!!!!) i am interested to see how the design and construction of the Tecno differs to that of my own JW4's the internet has plenty of photos of these cars but nothing that really shows the detail. Would anyone going to the show be willing to take some photos of the car for me (as many as possible) and specifically close up details of the front and rear suspension, hubs and rear drive assemblies. In exchange for this I'd happily pay the £10 for the auction program that gives admission and access for two people to the auction and any extra costs associated with getting the pictures to me? I'd be eternally grateful to anyone that is able to help
  2. Chassis Number 7022D, this car was the original 1967/68 factory prototype during the transition from the Motorcycle engine 250/650cc Mk1 and Mk2 chassis’ to the 875cc car engine Hillman Imp/SAAB Mk3. In total 56 JW4’s were manufactured at Johnny Walker’s Gloucestershire factory between 1965 and 1969 and of them I am personally aware of Eight original JW4’s chassis’ that still remain worldwide. Five of these JW4’s are located in the UK (I presently own three of the five Including this one) and this is the only car engined example I am aware of that still remains in existence to this day. This car is being sold unassembled and as a project for an enthusiast to research, complete and restore; the sale will include only the following items: Fabricated chassis Original 3 piece bodywork comprising of the following: • Nose/upper body • Lower body/under tray • Engine cover Cast Aluminium Rear uprights (Un-machined) Pedal Box and Pedals Fuel Tank Dashboard, Instruments (shown) and switches JA Pearce Magna Wheels, 13” rear and 10” front fitted with the correct Dunlop Historic Motorsports tyres all of which are new. Along with the above parts I can also include full Fabrication drawings for both the front and rear wishbones together with machining drawings for the rear uprights. If preferred I can also supply details for altering these uprights to accept mini driveshafts, bearings and hubs which would be easier and cheaper to source than the original parts. The sale does not include any front uprights, however either MG Midget or Hillman Imp uprights could be used. Midget/Imp hubs would also have the correct 4” PCD to work with the JA Pearce wheels. The chassis is substantially complete and original however you can see in the photographs that the upper chassis tubes in the engine bay have been swaged and modified in the past to accept a Honda CB750 motorcycle engine and two vertical tubes have also been removed from the rear of the chassis. If required and for an additional fee I can arrange with a local fabricator for this modification to be reversed and the original straight upper rails and vertical tubes reinstated. Wherever possible full technical support could also be given by myself to any purchaser of this car to ensure it can be restored faithfully to its former condition. I hold the original factory manufacturing drawings for the JW4 Mk2 and therefore have all the information necessary to allow this to be completed to a rolling chassis stage. Unfortunately I do not have any details for the components necessary to fit the original Hillman Imp engine or gearbox, this will be down to the purchaser to research further and complete for themselves. For more information about the Johnny Walker JW4 and Formula IV please see the build thread for my two Mk2 cars http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/104577-smokeys-jw4-formula-four-rebuild-thread/ This is a unique opportunity to own and restore an exceptionally rare car with history. £££ serious sensible offers are being invited. To discuss further and for more information prospective buyers are encouraged to contact me by Private Message on this forum or by email at wsccessex@btinternet.com This will be strictly collection only from Colchester, Essex. The bodywork would fit in a large saloon/estate car and the chassis could easily be carried on a roof rack. For buyers who may be interested that are overseas I am located 30 minutes from the Port of Harwich for Ferries to the Hook of Holland and 2 hours from the port of Dover for Ferries to Calais. Thank you for reading Mark wsccessex@btinternet.com
