Auction 26 Feb. Tojeiro/ Brittania GT & Ace 2.6

[Classicus]

H & H Auctions Stoneleigh Park 26/2/11
   
   Thought the outline in the top photo looked a bit familiar, a 1960 Brittania GT by John Tojeiro, however it's a car I've never heard of or seen before. Also an Ace 2.6 up for auction bottom pic.
   
   
   Britannia Cars was established in 1957 by Accland Geddes (the son of the one-time chairman of Dunlop, Rae Geddes) and Murray Beecroft. As neither had any prior experience of car design, they commissioned the father of the AC Ace, John Tojeiro, to come up with an all-independent chassis akin to that of his Ace Le Mans prototype. The stylish two-seater body was the work of renowned Scottish artist Cavendish Morton, the man who regularly penned Tojeiro's cars.

In addition to these, there was a Tojeiro MG (LOY501) at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale last weekend.  (Oops, should be LOW 77, LOY501 was another version.)
   
   Looks very much like a miniature Ace. I sold for $143,000 US
