Does anyone know the story about the T57 listed on the register as 57132 ? I understood that 57132 had been scrapped many years ago. It is listed as having another engine fitted now.Is this really 57132? It cannot have got this number from the engine so why did they chose 57132 ?

Hi John,
engine 161 originally from 57132 was for sale with Nick Benwell as part of a 57 kit, I understand the engine was subsequently sold sepperatly.161 was missing a cam box when i last saw it but otherwise intact.
I thought 57132 was/is owned by Roland Duce perhaps ask him?

Engine 161 is being built up as a car with original parts by my customer.

Did you buy it from Nick?

my customer did yes.He seems to have bought enough parts worldwide to build three T57's ! His brother is having one of them.He has cleared my shelves of all T57 parts.
