Brian J Rowsell built the BJR 500 which featured wishbone and coil suspension at the front and a swing axle at the rear, a relatively sophisticated tubular chassis and is powered by a JAP engine. Brian competed regularly in it from 1956 through to 1960. It was then raced by J.K. Harvey and passed to John Bailey towards the end of 1962 who ran it in on the hills and in sprints until 1965. It is now in the hands of Paul Harris.
