Arthur purchased the car and has started the restoration of this much raced saloon.
The car is to be sympatheticly restored and has been accepted to race in HSC.
The Worsley is to be powered by as Jim raced it by 1800cc MGB B series engine and equiped with a HRG Derrington cross flow head as per period. The heads were manufactured from 1956 to 1970 for the B Series engine.
This a welcome addition to our grid and will join Anglia's, Alfa Giulia's, Falcons Sprint and Jaguar Mk2's from that early period.
Arthur is a well know racer and also is very welcome and has raced since the 60's.
Jim Crystal was I understand one of the original orgainisors of the BMC Intermaque race series.
A great tribute to Jim and any photos and information is very welcome.
Cheers
Bruce
