On speed events, I recalled an entry list/results from a MIRA sprint I did in 1997 showing a yellow Turner 1700cc driven by a Mike Mohr of Midland AC. Someone also mentioned not so long ago Chris Fulke-Greville (sorry, Lord Fulke-Greville of Alcester) still had a red Xflow-engined Turner he used to sprint in the south east quite a way back.

Went looking for something in my photobucket account and saw these which prompted a return to TNF certain I'd seen Turner mentioned today, taken at a car show in Ireland a couple of years ago. Is this the same manufacturer?![]()

Skip Barber, of Skip Barber racing school, raced a Turner Alexander in the early 60's. I have a few photos of he and Don Sesslar having close races in F-Production events.
This was from Bridgehampton. Supposedly it was a great race.
I think there are a few shots with the Turner on this page.

I wonder what ever happened to Skips car?

There is a Turner in here somewhere - undergoing a rebuild, or so I am led to believe, and has been for the last few years.
I reckon it will get done 'soon', after all my ASP clubman has been undergoing a rebuild a few feet away for the last 18 years and it WILL be back on the track this August so there is hope for this Turner!

one of I think 4 survivors of 10 built, owned by a friend Geoff Long ,used regularly on Retro Rallies , Geoff also owns the ex Brian Nelson, Tom Stafford Turner which was raced here in Ireland in the 60S , alas the Climax engine is long gone , BMC power today, but still a fun car.

The engine in post 5 is the Turner Formula 2 engine, which was Lea-Francis based, but all alloy and with the L-F/Turner twin-plug head.Originally posted by KerryStagmer
Hey Alan,
I notice that the Lea Francis engine you show is a dual plug head, do you know if it was a gear driven cam "speedway engine"?
I really regret not buying the one that was here in the states, just glad someone like Clive got it!

Here he illustrates the tight line through Lodge......

.......bizarrely only myself and Tony Broom look as though we were at Mallory Park that day!!;)

Oh I see, not with the proper historic cars then. I remember competing against genuine Turners in the late 50s and early sixties, Tatty Turner etc but that which you describe cannot by any stretch of the imagination be described as an historic car within that context. I helped build David Eva's Alexander Turner before you went to secondary school

New England Classic Car Company always seems to have several for sale. Its website currently shows 11 for sale or sold. I do not know them, but imagine they would share chassis numbers if asked.
