Hi, having just discovered the beautiful Rejo sports/racers from around 1959, I would like to make a model of one, but cannot find any dimensions or company history.
Can anyone help, please?

There are a couple that race in the UK and the owners may be able to help, I know one of the drivers fairly well so could ask if you like.

Bauble, I would seriously appreciate that!

I have a lot of experience at making model s and patterns and could provide a bona fide if he wishes.

I could let you have my e-mail address by PM if you wish.

Many thanks.
Martin

I like your choice, Martin. I always thought they were very pretty cars.

Hitching a ride on someone else's Rejo thread, I would ask if anyone has any photographs of the mk 6 Rejo with body panels off to expose the suspension, either or both ends , front preferred. Is anyone racing an mk6 ?

Hi Roger,
PM received and answered, thanks.

This all began when an old friend calmly told me that a mate of his who used to own the White Morris, all part of the Skinner Special saga
sold it and bought a Rejo. I thought I vaguely remembered the name so looked it up and there was the most gorgeous front engined sports/racer I'd ever seen.

I will phone said friend tomorrow and see what else he can remember.

Cheers,
Martin

Thanks for the PMs, Bob.
The chap who sold the White Morris and bought the Rejo was called Bill Davies. I don't know if that rings any 50's bels?

Cheers,
Martin

Paddock shot of John Sutton and his Rejo in approx 1967. The guy in the glasses is his friend and mechanic, Ted Eckman.

the car has been modified with wider arches and a light added, as well as the extra cooling slot, but you can still amke out what a pretty car it is.

Does the Historic car dealer Martin Chisolm not race a blue Rejo? I think he rar it at the revival a couple of years ago.

Lovely picture, Mistron.
Many thanks. Hideous arch flares though!
They Won't be on the model.

I think the blue one was sold. I pinched pics from the advert!

Cheers,
Martin

Apparently there was a Mk.6 which was rear engined. Bit like a Cooper Monaco?

Thanks, Fyrth.
Very advanced for a 750 club car. Inboard coil overs and a monocoque?
Any shots of the complete car??

Will I'Anson has been racing that one for the past couple of years - it's currently for sale on his website.

Pags,
Some of the pictures on my web site are of William and you can find his picture in the drivers album, I know him and his Dad, and I'm sure he will be helpful.
