This car was originally exported to Fergus Fine Cars in New York.  Jay provided this photo of the car when owned by Dave Dexter, who had purchased it from a friend.  The car evolved into an SCCA F Prod. racer.  Dave may have also acquired a D Prod. Turner Climax in the deal.  The chassis number of the Turner Climax is unknown.










This car was previously in the Unknown Turners photo section.  These photos and the following information were found on the Internet.
