Who built my Ulster Rep Body?

[Malcolm Parker]

That's interesting, Geoff.  My body may be the one that David Laxton commissioned.  My Ulster kit came from the Estate of the late Peter Simonard who knew David Laxton well.   It was obviously intended to be a trials car as the floor and lower body sides had been strengthened and some heavy tubular steel supports made to mount the rear of the body onto the chassis outriggers.  I dispensed with the heavy supports as they were far stronger than the outriggers, replacing them with the correct Ulster pattern supports.
I will try and find a photo of the Hugh Conway Ulster to see if it bears any resemblance to mine.
