A recent press report in my local paper last week says that Stuart Beare's late father Denis built the car in the early 50's and raced it at Goodwood and Brands. Said to be owned by someone from Abinger Hammer.

What's the rest of the story?

The car is discussed in this thread on the Autopuzzles site. Unfortunately the photos of it that were obviously there are no longer visible. Here's the conclusion:

The name I have for it is the Denmark Special - Denmark, not because it comes from that country but named after Denis and Mark Beare who rebuilt it after WWII.
It was originally constructed as the RWG Special by Roy Watling-Greenwood in 1935 as the first of two built by him.

This would seem to be the car:

The pictures were there when I followed the link. Maybe nowadays you have to be registered on Autopuzzles to see them. But the pictures are the same as those on the classic car agency link anyway.

Thanks Duncan - I did wonder if you had to be registered to see the photos.

Thanks, you never fail to provide the answers.

It seems that a Mr Rogers from Abinger Hammer is now the owner, the question is which one?
