Gordon England’s aim was never longevity, it was speed and form.
The early bodies were built with only this in mind and very successful they were too, the later saloons and two seaters stretched that aim too thinly.
The remains of two original Cup bodies here have only pins holding them together, no screws.
The Swallow sits firmly at the other end of the scale, concentrating looks over lightness. Having one of each - I appreciate both schools of thought.
