Greetings

I would be surprised if the first car was scrapped, more like bits of it =
were used in other experiments.
=20
Both the BN3/1 and BN3/4 started life as very early four-cylinder cars =
before the six-cylinder engines were fitted in =E2=80=9954 and later. =
There are lots of bits in both cars that are certainly not akin to =
production cars.
=20
The X numbers used by the DHMC referred to experiments and not complete =
cars. My car, the BN3/1 was X207 and according to Geoff Price when he =
was speaking to an earlier owner it originated as a pre-production =
chassis. Whether this is true or not, I have no way of telling.

Larry,
I spoke with John Wheatley about this car very at the Lake Tahoe meet =
back in 2002. This was the prototype and the only body built by =
Tickfords, versus all subsequent cars that were built by Jensen. Thus =
the rarest of the rare car being the first, a one off car built by =
Tickfords, the car that started the legend, and unfortunately according =
to John, scraped many years ago. Very sad indeed that no one saw to =
save this piece of automotive history.
The oldest known surviving 100 is AHX-3 owned by a member of our =
Concours Committee.
=20
Cheers,
Curt

Clearly there were prototype chassis designs before production began, it =
would be very interesting to know more history.
