“I was interested to read an article from 2011 reference the history of Lumbertubs, – this car was at one time owned by David Owen who also had another Frogeye that he used for hill climbs and sprints, YLL 71. I understand this 1961 car was rebuilt for competition in the 80’s. I believe David sold it to Peter Taylor and it was driven to the Le Mans Classic by his son Paul. The car is fitted with a 1380 engine and a Manx Racing cylinder head supplied by Bill Quine ( of ex Downton Fame). I purchased the car in August last year and it is currently being used by my son for track days. If anybody has any more knowledge on the car or David Owen I would love to hear from them.
