I have worked on Richard Leesons T40 which is definately a genuine chassis.

Dear All

Re: 40221 ro 40763?

In Molsheim I spoke at length to the owner, Ulrich, who was very open about the car, told me everything I wanted to know, and who also graciously let me photograph all numbers.

The car is built out of genuine Molsheim bits. Hugh Conway sr had found the frame in 1962 in Liverpool, which is 40221. The engine 667 ex 40763 was installed and as such it also received a new chassisplate stamped 40763. It was registered as such with the UK plates CM 6822 (which is still on the front of car; the German plate is over it). The Grand Sport replica body was built by Wilkinson. It was built for Richard Leeson by Robin Townsend from Townsend engineering.

In general I depict a car according to its frame but in some cases owners prefer to depict it with the number with which it is registered. Some are afraid sooner or later the WIKI may achieve authoritative status which may bring them in trouble with the authorities.

So this car now drives around as '40763' but it has the frame of 40221. I would for the Wiki depict it as '40763' (in quotation marks, as it is called that way, but the frame is from a different car). It is not a replica.

Hi Kees sorry we did not get to chat at Molsheim but it was as usual chaos ! This car is of course 40221 with bits from other genuine T40's added.

Hi Kees

For me it is 40221 with engine from 40763
