YU 1178 at Brighton Speed Trials, 1960s

Contributed by Daena Scott Butler

 

"YU 1178 belonged to Harry Smith and was raced by him in the 1960s. Before being shipped to Argentina, Peggy Smith took over the ownership following the death of Harry Smith in his Cooper Climax at an event in 1969.

 

The bodywork was designed with the help of Harold Scott Pounds, owner of GO 5629.

 

This car competed mainly at Hill Climbs and Sprint meetings."
