When Jack Turner founded his sports car manufacturing company in 1950, he had one goal in mind and that was to build race cars. This 1959 Turner 950S is one of only 670 cars built before the company closed its doors. The seller has pieces of its provenance, some of which dates back to when it was new. Someone started restoring it, but never finished it. The current owner has accumulated many parts for it, but has decided to part ways with it. Find it here on eBay.

This Turner was raced from day one and the seller even has photos of the original owner racing it at the Scottish Car Sprint at the Stobbs Camp Race Track. Jump ahead ten years, when it exchanged hands, it went through its first restoration. It was stripped and rebuilt with a newer engine with a Judson Supercharger. The owner from that period of time documented all they did to the car, their life during that period of time, and all the events the car attended, which is included with the car. Sometime in the late ’70s it was sold yet again, but this time it was exported to the United States.

In the mid ’80s it was then setup for vintage racing and raced off and on. The seller even has one of the logbook from 1986, when it ran in several events at Lime Rock. Shortly after this chapter of its life, another restoration was started, but never finished. The car includes boxes of parts, two Austin 950 engines, transmission, two carburetors, exhaust system, and drive shaft. Thankfully the car also retains all the hard to find pieces, including the factory windshield, front bumper, door handles, top frame, wiring harness, and many other components.

It appears that the fiberglass body is about ready for paint, but will need some work. The underside has some rust and will need new floor pans installed. These cars were very simple and it shouldn’t be too difficult to put it back together. Finding any missing parts on the other hand could be a challenge. Once it’s all put back together it should make for a fun vintage racer and with a little more research might be eligible for some major historic events.
