1948 ALTA JAGUAR

This car is one of only 9 post war racing carsbuilt by Geoffrey Taylor of Alta Cars.  This Alta was intended to be the 4th Formula 1 Alta ("GP4").  It has unique rubber block suspension designed by Alta, it now has a 2 seater Sports-Racing bodywork and a 3.4 litre Jaguar C Type engine.  Building of the car was started in 1948 its early history after it left the factory is still uncertain however, it seems that it had a period racing in Ireland in the 1950's and 1960's although efforts to trace its earlier history are still on-going.
