ANNOUNCING!

The resurrection of the famous Brooklands racing special, Nanette. Built in 1925 by a Mr Felix Scriven, a Yorkshireman with a penchant for Fair Isle sweaters. This one-off special was built around a record breaking Thomas engine with chassis and bodywork to Scriven's designs.

This very original car hasn't been seen in public since the 1930's but most of the bodywork had been lost, so we are now accurately recreating the missing parts using the few photo's and drawings which exist.
