Thorgiersen Special
Like many vintage race cars, this 1960s era H-modified ended up gutted, neglected, rusted and in need of total restoration. The chassis, thin-wall steel tube, was hand-built by the owner/driver, who worked as a welder in the Navy shipyard on Vancouver Island. He used a Lotus 23 as the inspiration for the car. The body is aluminum and fiberglass; the engine is from a Fiat 850. It has an extensive racing history in Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Owned by Jerry F. Boone, restoration was expected to be complete later in the year.
