About this car
This 1951 HRG, chassis W211, has the 1,500cc Singer overhead-cam engine, the more flexible of the two units buyers could choose from that year. HRG built light, focused sports cars that took on bigger makers, and this one has a competition record to match.
It took first in class at the 1978 MCC Land's End Trial and won the Stanley Cup in 1989, during a long spell in Somerset with Tony White. In the mid-1990s Jay Hall, with Lotus and BRM experience, rebuilt it mechanically and added cosmetic work and new interior trim, backed by detailed notes. Later owners included stunt driver Russ Swift, and the car has spent the past nine years in Walton-on-Thames.
It is described as in very good overall condition and is eligible for VSCC events. A tonneau, side screens and a hood are included. The page gives no mileage.
