1936 HRG 1500 Navigation
This prewar race car entered the 1937 Le Mans and finished 13th overall and 2nd in class driven by owner Archie Scott and co-driver Ted Halford. The car completed 1963 laps in a stripped-down configuration, using cycle wings and a Notek spotlamp with a wire mesh windscreen. HRG Engineering Company, based in Tolworth, England, was founded in 1936 by Messrs, Halford, Robins and Godfrey, and this car was one of the first motorcars it produced and the second of 16 cars built using the Meadows 1.5-liter engine. The HRG 1500 was similar to the chain-driven Frazer Nash (Nash being a former business partner of Godfrey). It was a special order for Archie Scott who campaigned the car at Donnington, Monte Carlo, Brooklands, and Edinburgh, with some considerable success. The HRG raced in the U.K. until 1951 and then disappeared from view until 1989 when Ian Dussek, HRG Club registrar and author, located the car and had it restored to its 1937 Le Man's specifications.
