1954 HRG TWIN CAM SPORTS RACER, 1954 H.R.G. Twin Cam Sports Racer Chassis Number: 15APB 1 of 3 Built! This car was built for Peter Fletcher a Gentleman race driver from London and was supplied by Henry Ronald Godfrey (HRG). This extremely rare example is one of the three cars built and is the only car in its original condition being all its life in private collections. The HRG was well ahead of its time and the unique spider wheels meant the brakes could be changed in 15 minutes this along with the tubular chassis gave the car superb road holding as the plans were to run an HRG team at Le Mans these were important design factors. The twin cams as they became known were very expensive hand built sports cars. After 15APB left the factory the company could only produce performance parts and did not produce another car. It was the last car HRG made, except for a brief one off effort some twenty years late.
