Weird Wednesday: 1931 based 1959 Wor-Den Special

• 

This must be one of the most modern looking prewar based specials ever built. Inspired by the GP races of that era (check 1959 GP Zandvoort ; Grandprix.com). This is not a 2005, '06 or '07 built look-a-like. The car has a history file including press reports since it first appeared as a 750 racer in 1959, winning the 750 Formula Championship in its first full season 1960 taking first place in 11 out of 13 races. It was driven by Tony Densham who was the "den" of the Worden name with Harry Worrall being the "Wor" part. The FIA inspector's report alone makes good reading material. Basis of all this is a 1931 Austin Seven chassis, being proof of the 'long arms'of prewar Austin Seven racing history...
