Spitfire ADU 1B Le Mans

Built in the Triumph experimental department at Canley.

Original chassis number (1964) X730, engine number (1964) X936E, registered 01.06.04, described in the experimental dept notes as 'Le Mans No3'.

Raced at Le Mans 1964 (crashed), Sebring 1965 (crashed), and at Le Mans 1965 (crashed, again!). Returned to the works and stored until rebuilt for Bill Bradleys racing effort in the latter half of 1966 replacing ADU 2B which had crashed at Nurburgring earlier in 1966.

Quote from Bill Bradley

' 1966 after June

Ray (Henderson) and his team at Fletch North quickly prepared a car for the second half of the season. As I recall mainly using what had been ADU 1B as a basis, with parts from the 1965 car, ERW 412C, a 'new' Spitfire was built up. My race records say 'Crystal Palace - 6th August - new Spitfire'!
