The car was built by Candy Poole, along with Bob Bentzinger, and named the Pool-Bentzinger Experimental. Amazingly it was built on the frame of a 1949 Fiat Model B station wagon, modified and fitted with the single cam Crosley engine and MG TC gearbox.The alloy body was by Sven Johnson of the Aeroform Company.
It was immensely successful in H-Modified racing with 26 class wins from 35 starts.
It still exists today, fitted with a 750 Coventry Climax engine.
