An interesting rumour, is it possible it was from Stuart Ulphs post at the bottom of THIS thread from the old forum. (Reffering to Graham Harris' Flickr Link). Seems highly implausible to me, the green car is always stated as being '35 or '36, and would have thought if anyone had an idea that parts were from the Campbell car it would have been rebuilt a a replica of that. That said strange things do happen. David Howe states in that thread, that the Campbell car was being hill climbed in the USA into the mid 40's, but nothing know after. Has anyone ever attempted a replica of it? Maybe since the success of the Bruce McLaren special, you and Jos could give it a go.
Interesting proposition Timothy, Joss has always had a hankering to build a replica of the Campbell car, if anyone wants to donate a suitable supercharged engine to the cause maybe we can give it a go.
