Did this car compete primarily in SCCA races?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #26 on:** January 14, 2014, 04:44:45 PM »

I only know that it raced in SCCA events.

Was it built by Dan Cozzi ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #28 on:** January 14, 2014, 05:22:33 PM »

I have a different name.

Was it made in the 50s-60s period?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #30 on:** February 03, 2014, 01:16:25 PM »

Unfortunately I did not scan the date, but yes, it definitly was built and raced in those years.

American, Jaguar XK-based, raced in the 1950s in SCCA. Was it raced in the West Coast?

The brake drums & wheels definitely look like '36 - '39 Ford / Mercury USA items ,very likely the axles are too ,with I beam in front

Was this the only racer built by this man?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #36 on:** August 16, 2015, 06:32:00 PM »

I think he later raced an original, used Jaguar D-Type in the USA.

However I have no information if he built other cars.

I want this to be solved:

the builder´s name starts with the letter "B"

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #41 on:** August 17, 2015, 04:33:54 PM »

John Barlass?

nicanary · « **Reply #42 on:** August 17, 2015, 07:08:05 PM »

Carlyle Blackwell ?

Sorry, can I withdraw that?

Is this the Brennan Beast? Merle Brennan raced a car of that name in 1957 for the Reno Racing Team, and it was entered in the C modified class, which would make it about the engine size of a Jaguar XK. Just a hunch......

grobmotorix · « **Reply #43 on:** August 18, 2015, 12:41:21 PM »

Barlass
Beast
Blackwell

we´re approaching the correct second letter in his surname

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #44 on:** August 18, 2015, 01:20:06 PM »

Is there an 'R' in that surname as in Merle Brennan?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #45 on:** August 18, 2015, 01:29:28 PM »

Barlass
Beast
Blackwell
...
~~Brennan~~

Something between Bl... and Br...

Bruce Boyle?
Only 1 missing in my list...

grobmotorix · « **Reply #47 on:** August 18, 2015, 01:52:38 PM »

LOCKED for you.

You´re very very close:

Boy....... (don´t count the dots)

Three more tries for you.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #48 on:** August 18, 2015, 02:01:50 PM »

Thank you...I'll look for him and post my educated guesses soon

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #49 on:** August 19, 2015, 03:52:13 AM »

Looking at 12 pages of results by D-Type drivers, the only name that fits is a Dan Boylan, but can't be since you wrote it's not Boyle but Boy___.
I thought it could be a Boyd/Boyde and browsing the 87 chassis history files recorded in a certain website, the only name that matches is George Boyd, who had #XKD529 in the 70s.
