No Ruairidh, Geoff's Chummy was not particularly low, but very light, and had the seat moved so far back to cope with his 6' 3" frame that he was almost on the back squab. The gear-lever ripped out of the broken top of the box in practice at Oulton in the mid 1980s. We tied it back in with rope around the gearbox and sent him out to win the VSCC Voiturette trophy!
Somebody is still racing that maroon Chummy now. I spoke briefly to the present owner in the paddock at Mallory Park a couple of years ago before he went out.
