1950 HWM Stovebolt Special Navigation
This 1950 HWM Formula 2 works car, raced by Stirling Moss, Johnny Claes, and Rudi Fischer, won Grand Prix des Frontières. It was crashed by Stirling Moss in the Naples Grand Prix. It was sold by HWM in 1955 as a cycle-winged sports car and starred in the Hollywood film 'The Racers' driven by Kirk Douglas. It was completely rebuilt in 1955 as 'The Stovebolt Special' by Seattle racer Tom Carstens with a V8 Chevrolet small-block. It was the first sports racing car to use this engine. It ran in the last Pebble Beach Road Race in 1956 and was driven by Bill Pollack. After a long United States racing career, it was bought and rebuilt by United Kingdom car journalist and commentator Simon Taylor, who raced it in the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Australia. Simon also drives the car on the road to all its events. The car is road legal. It is small and lightweight and has over 600 BHP per ton.
