Hi Steve,
Tom Abernethy and Ruairidh Dunford between them will possibly chip in to your query
and know more about Gordon England and his car business than I do.
“Gordon England Super Sports” was I believe the first advertised name for what
Is now known as a GE “Brooklands”... perhaps in the same way that “Ulster”
Has become the name for that sports car.
Gordon England perhaps sold perhaps 3000 to 4000 cars, vans and saloons.
I doubt if there are any sales records extant, but Companies House May hold Annual Accounts for the period 1924 to 1930, before the company folded.
As regards “ GE Brooklands” cars only a few hundred were made with only one or two ( perhaps not)
Surviving as chassis. I remember meeting Tom building his first Brooklands from scratch in his conservatory
50 years ago and doing it from scaled photographs.
As regards Cups again only a couple or so survived despite perhaps 3000 being made?
Regards
Bill G
Aka AllAlloyCup
Ps busy recreating a Cup just now!.
