ERAs - Chassis Ownership and Driver Histories (Under Development)
ERA HISTORIAN PAR EXCELLENCE
INTRODUCTION
ERA is almost unique, as an important racing marque, in that the complete ownership and driver/appearance history of each of the twenty cars which were built in period (1934 to 1952) is known at every point in each car’s life.
The most comprehensive information on ERA ownership and Drivers can be found in David Weguelin: The History of English Racing Automobiles (1980).
Since David Weguelin’s masterly book was published in 1980, the ERA Club has set itself the task of maintaining the cars' ownership and driver histories, with changes being noted here on the Club’s web site as soon as they are known.
Anyone who has further information which adds, corrects or disputes anything in these lists should contact Adam Ferrington at info@eraclub.co.uk
