Picture of the week, Fairthorpe TX1

 

This picture was kindly sent to me by ex Fairthorpe owner Mike Hahn, it was taken in the late 60`s at Blackbushe aerodrome and shows Torix Bennet`s prototype TX1, this was the forerunner of his TX series of cars.
Mike himself owned several Fairthorpes over the years, his last one was modified to take a Fiat Twin cam engine and Nissan 5 speed gearbox and used to good effect in Autotests. There will be more information and pictures of Mike`s cars posted here in the next couple of days.
