Pilbeam Mp57

[robotrowel]

Hi guys I'm new to this site and am looking for some help to find out if an old hill climb car has survived ....Pilbeam Mp57 (I think there were only two of these ever produced ) ? Anyone got any idea of what became of these cars?

This was written by Steve Wilkinson here in 2006:

MP57 01 Speed John Hunt/ADO (Hart engined) Sold to Peter Warren who subsequently sold it to Brian McGinley who sold it on without racing it. Roy Lane bought the car and used it infrequently. Lane then sold it to Stewart Robb. The car is for sale - this was written in 2006 so is a bit out of date but Steve is an expert on Pilbeam chassis so you may be able to ask him direct?

MP57 02 Speed Martin Bolsover (Hart engined) when Bolsover left hillclimbing Jim Thomson bought the car. Martyn Griffiths/Max Harvey acquired the car in part exchange and ran it for a few events. Then sold it on to John Gray. Barry Goode then bought the car before he to sold it on. The next owners were Graham & Andy Priaulx. They ran it for a while before they to sold it on, this time to Malcolm Orme. Eventually Orme sold the car to Mark Harrison who ran it for a couple of seasons before selling it to Stewart Robb. Robb had a big accident and the car was WRITTEN OFF. This was when he bought MP57-01.
