W125

Crosthwaite and Gardiner are proud and pleased to have completed the second W125 car. Car number two of a series of five cars being produced was tested at Donington Park in the hands of Kevin Wheatcroft and Rob Hall. The first car was completed in 2009 and delivered to a confidential private collector, so having car number two finished and attracting a great deal of attention is very exciting for everyone involved in the project.

Goodwood Revival

As ever, the Goodwood Revival meeting was another great event for all who were present. Crosthwaite and Gardiner were well represented in the Madgewick Cup and the Richmond Trophy with many cars running Coventry Climax FPF engines. A notable result was Eddie McGuire's stunning Lotus 16 Grand Prix car running a brand Crosthwaite and Gardiner 2.0 FPF engine and Lotus Queerbox which drove to a terrific fifth overall in the 2.5L race.

The RAC TT race was missing the Jaguar LWEs this year, but it certainly wasn't missing action.  On a damp, turning to water-logged track as the race went on, Kenny Brack and Tom Kristensen took a tremendous start to finish victory in the imaculate Cobra Daytona Coupe prepared by Lanzante.  In a post-race interview with Dena Lanzante, he commented, "We couldn't have done it without our new Crosthwaite and Gardiner Halibrand wheels." - No problem Dean, we're pleased to help!
