For those of us who have been involved in Club Motorsport for over half a century, the mention of racing Turners is nearly always followed immediately by someone mentioning ‘Tatty Turner’.

‘Tatty’ was a seriously quick Mark 1 Climax (678 ERC) that was raced in the early 1960s by Pat Fergusson and Warwick Banks with great success and became known for epic ‘David and Goliath’ battles around Mallory and Brands.

As I recall, the epithet ‘Tatty’ was singularly well deserved at the time but the car did scrub up well in later years, however, the word could never be used to describe the immaculate Mk3 on offer here.

“Tidy Turner” would be far more appropriate.

This superb example is a Turner Ford 1600 Crossflow Mk3.
