1 Autosport Special Bakers
2 Churchill Buckler
3 first owner Franco?
4 Tom Coy

5 Canadair

Many thanks to Tom Churchill who has recently been in touch and supplied loads of interesting stuff from the USA.

Bob Hanna told me that two Bucklers were sold in British Columbia. You have one currently listed with Rod Mclellan

Read " A Letter from Canada" from Autosport, Feb. 14, 1958 This article has a picture of the True Special which the caption says is "a Mistral body is mounted on a Buckler Chassis with Skoda IRS and torsion bar IFS". The picture next to the True Special is The Merrilee Special With a space frame with Morris Minor front end.
( space frame + Morris Minor front end = Buckler XV???)

From Tom Churchill

My understanding from Bob Hanna is that he had 4 or 5 frames. The Autosport special was one, The Canadaire was two. There was the Franco Fiat, which would have been 3 and I thought Tom Churchill’s car was possibly one from Bob. Now the Stephan Burnett car which I sent an ad to you may be one of those frames from Bob as well. I’ve made some inquiries as to the location of that car.
