Originally sold to Philip Jucker who was killed in the car. It was then rebuilt and sold to George Abecassis who immediately did well with this car in late 1937, 1938 and 1939. After which he still used the car for a while but by then it was not particularly competitive. The car started life in 1500cc format, but Alta engines were easy to modify into 1100cc, 1500cc and 2ltr formats.
A complete rebuild is currently in progress with a rebuilt 2ltr supercharged engine. The car should hopefully be out in 2011.
