Amilcar C6 - YU 12

 

 

YU 12 run in the 1930 500-mile race by Brian Twist and Bob Porter. During the war it lived in the loft at Zere's ZN Motors, together with another one reputedly ex-Widengren. The two were purchased by John Tozer after the war. Tozer also had YW 91 and the best engine went into YU 12, while the Clayton car was sold. It is now nearing the end of a monumental rebuild and appeared at last year's Brooklands Reunion. As did NPA 217 and also YU 12, now registered OXW 1 by Tozer and campaigned by him around 1960. The other ex-Zere car, registered OXW 2, was run by Tozer's colleague Rex Clutton until it blew up, since when Tula Engineering have rebuilt it over a long period.
