The Revs Digital library has these T.E.S.T. 1 Special images for which they need more details, such as year of construction, constructor, how many made and is it a trials car or ?

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

I knew I had seen info recently . Autosport Nov 20 1953  page 663, full page narrative. It looks a nicely turned out motor car, blown 1172cc,  vertical coil rear end,  welded tube frame. I will scan and send if anyone wants to post it. I cannot work the system.

edit. TEST stands for Tony's Eleven Seven Two, obvious really..

This car appears not to be a Trials car but a Driving Test car, and it looks like Tony was a Conservative or a Green Grocer?

Footage of Tony Bray in the TEST 1 can be viewed on YouTube.......at 12.40
