Kieft Climax 1100 cc sports cars
It is said that 6 cars were built complete by the works.
I own the 2nd car from the series chassis Number 11/54/2 registration NJW 60 engine fitted is: FWA/ET515/6152 This is supposed to be the engine from the sister car 11/54/1 (NDA 172)That would make it the first Climax FWA to be used in competition (Le Mans 1954) As far as I know NJW 60 did in period: 1954 International Sports Car Race at the British GP, Silverstone (3rd in class) 1954 Dundrod TT World Sports Car Championship race (retired) 1958 Silverstone Eight Clubs Meeting (????) Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb when ? Kieft Climaxes are significant cars The first cars to use the Climax FWA The first cars to use fibreglass bodywork in competition The forerunners to the British avalanche into 1100 cc sports car racing that lead to the rise of Lotus, Cooper Elva und Lola. Any information wellcome. about my car, NJW 60 about LDA 172 (to my knowledge broken up and lost) and about the other remaining 4 Kieft Climaxes, most of which were road and not racing cars. A German, named Hans Finke, raced a Kieft Climax in the Targa Florio. Which chassis was that ? driver pairing: Finke/Kornekauer / Targa Florio 1955 Rudolf |
