Perhaps anathema to serious collectors, but the enterprising mechanics who built their own stock cars between 1955 and 1975 are celebrated in this website. www.oldstox.com

(The racing continues today in a higher-tech format, but this is a date-limited history website.)

Over 1,000 photographs and many tall stories of the 'heroes and villains' of that uniquely British sport.

Lagondas, Railtons, Bentleys and even "Rollers" were not exempt in the 1950s.

One Fiat 600 body concealed an Olds Rocket V-8 driving through a Ferrari Superamerica gearbox.

For nearly twenty years the upright Mercedes radiator grille was the frontal treatment of choice.

A labour of love without advertisements --- have a look: www.oldstox.com
