My understanding is that Barry Clarke built SV8872 out of DR5582. As i understand it, Barry used the mechanicals from DR5582 and a new Roach body, which was then registered SV8872. I owned SV8872 from 2007 to 2014, having bought it from Hamish Algar. The notes I got with the car set out this history, as it was understood in 2007. SV8872 certainly had an original EA Sports engine, gearbox and other parts, but a late 1929 chassis. I always understood he then used the chassis from DR5582 to build another car.
