THE ECURIE ECOSSE TRANSPORTER

When regular customer Dick Skipworth was looking for something to carry his D-types in, Mayston-Taylor suggested this famous vehicle, which he knew had been saved from scrap by Roger Ludgate, one of the founders of LYNX. Once the deal was done, the huge and derelict truck was squeezed into the workshop — “we had to remove a staircase to do it!” Although it looked an overwhelming marathon of riveting and joinery, a full-time LYNX team of five completed the job in an amazing seven months. The result is a perpetual crowdpleaser wherever it goes, especially when loaded with Skipworth’s collection of Ecurie Ecosse and LYNX cars.
