Possibly a DD2? in Kenya...

Mr McNaughton at the wheel of Tony Everard's Buckler-Climax in 1967


Kenya News. Details of a Buckler-Climax have surfaced thanks to Duncan Ragabliati. Duncan sent in two newspaper cuttings from the Kenyan East African Standard, both dated 1967. It is believed that the late Tony Everard bought the car second-hand in c1957 in England and raced at Nakuru during the sixties (the same circuit where John Hissey competed in 53/54) Tony passed away in 1974.
The Buckler is missing and further details obtained are at times conflicting. It has been established that Tony fitted the Climax engine from a Lotus 6 that was written off in Kenya. The original spec still has to be determined. The photo was taken at Nakuru sometime in the mid to late sixties and shows the Buckler with a Mistral shell. If McNaughton and Tony Everard’s name sound familiar they were both regular competitors in the East African Safari Rally.

Many thanks to Brian Malin and Duncan Ragabliati for this update.
