The current body is the VDP rep body originally fitted to the real Blue train car some time circa 1959. The chassis was converted to a speed configuration after a wreck at the factory in 1928 or 1929 with speed six engine KR 2697 installed. Those speed six parts were transfered to the current engine case TB 2539 after WW II."

We all remember the famous race Woolf Barnato had with the Blue train, the race immortalised into a painting we all have. Having researched the story however Claire Hay discovered that the car, a Gurney Nutting coupe was not finished at the time of the record and had not even been registered for the road.
The only car he had at the time was this wonderful fabric Weyman saloon and in fact the newspaper articles referred to the record car as a Saloon, not as a coupe.
Interesting problems where the immense body work restoration we undertook, no coach builder being prepared to do it for us, the lavish art deco style interior and complicated wood work.
