A factory development car, leaving the factory with OTS bodywork and 'S' specification engine. Sold by the factory as a 'second hand' car to Mike Hawthorn's TT Garages.

A really interesting car. Factory Development vehicle, converted to Right Hand Drive by factory, as well as having an 'S' experimental engine based on a Mk7 engine block. The cylinder head shows signs of being done by hand with a non uniform pattern on the inlet manifold studs and the ports having been moved. The factory also experimented with the OTS bodywork before selling to Mike Hawthorn's TT Garage.
