RE: Supercharged Ulster - Robin Boyce - 04-03-2021 In the late '60s a local production car trial started from behind the village garage in Feckenham, Worcestershire, and while we were waiting an Ulster came out of a shed and was driven away by a young lad. In later negotiations I almost managed to buy the Ulster's exhaust manifold for my Special as the owner wanted a "more proficient" bunch-of-bananas manifold. But it then transpired that the car belonged to his father, veteran car enthusiast Chester Smith and would probably go into his new museum in Pembroke. I believe the son later died in a car accident. Don't remember the Ulster registration or colour but it was probably the car for sale.

RE: Supercharged Ulster - Henry Harris - 10-04-2021 Some more about JF 322.... This photo recently appeared on Facebook, I guess it's the Chester Smith family. Strangely, someone seems to have been rubbed out! ![]() This post card features the car The auction ![]() RE: Supercharged Ulster - James Anderson - 11-04-2021 I thought that it was quite good value in view of replicas being advertised at just 5-10 grand cheaper. Henry do you have any more details re. The Sotheby's Auction Catalogue? |
