GNR 506D is car number 109 of the 297 made and is documented on the Coupe Register of the RSSOC. The car has an interesting history going back to the original suppliers, Roger Clark Cars of Leicester, together with details of owners going back well before 1980. Then it was owned by a VSCC circuit racer with its stablemates including a Lagonda and Delage D8. The car has been featured in the club magazine where its competition history is alluded to as an ex-hillclimb car. Although still very original, it does seem to have been tweaked towards more sport at some time, both from its performance level and the addition of heaters for both water and oil. These certainly have not been tried out, although the external period leads are still with the car.

GNR 506D has recently been lightly restored and is now presenting very well without losing any of its undoubted charm. The paintwork, which was not good, has been refreshed in a period Ermine White, and the competition wires have been rebuilt and powder coated and shod with V-rated Kleber tyres. All mechanical items have been attended to, which included a complete overdrive rebuild. The interior remains very original and in fine order, as is the original Webasto roof. There are details of all the recent expenditure.

This car has to be driven to really be appreciated. GNR 506D is agile and nimble on twisting roads with performance to match. With the sunshine roof open, the noise from the custom-made exhaust is simply magnificent.

With the car comes a copy of the rare owner's handbook, workshop manual, period press reviews and sales literature. There is also an original jack and toolkit.
