1959 - 1978

Ecurie Eccose History

This famous vehicle was built in 1959 for Ecurie Ecosse by Walter Alexander of Falkirk, Scotland on a Commer chassis using a three cylinder horizontally-opposed supercharged 2 stroke diesel engine!

It was designed by Selby Howgate to carry the Team’fs racing cars to events in the UK and Europe and was one of the first custom-built racing car transporters.   Corgi even made a model of it in the late 1960’fs and sold over 180,000 examples!

The Transporter was retired from active service by Ecurie Ecosse in the mid sixties, and was then used by privateers until the late 1970s.

In 1992, Lynx acquired the vehicle on behalf of one of its customers and began a meticulous sympathetic restoration retaining the vehicle's original appearance and specification, with the added   facilities of a seating area for use at events, replacing the on-board workshop/ sleeping space. All of the Transporter’s unique features such as the original cable-operated hydraulic ramps are used, and with the additional safety features having been designed and fabricated by Lynx for its new life.

These pictures show how this transporter was rebuild . Here you can also  imagine how many work has to be done ,until the old condition shows up.
