Supercharged Ulster

[Henry Harris]

In the late '60s a local production car trial started from behind the village garage in Feckenham, Worcestershire, and while we were waiting an Ulster came out of a shed and was driven away by a young lad.  In later negotiations I almost managed to buy the Ulster's exhaust manifold for my Special as the owner wanted a "more proficient" bunch-of-bananas manifold.  But it then transpired that the car belonged to his father, veteran car enthusiast Chester Smith and would probably go into his new museum in Pembroke.  I believe the son later died in a car accident.  Don't remember the Ulster registration or colour but it was probably the car for sale.

Yes it was the same car. We heard that the son had died.
