Aware that B2 is as original plus the Syracuse car but others are a bit of a mixture .
As for Connaught not being being that successful.
It was the first British car to win a post war GP!
What followed was a fantastic history only let down by cash flow.
Even provided Bernie’s step into F1!
Engineering superior to both Vanwalls and BRM,s of same period.

B2, Science Museum & Morgan family cars are all pretty original.
The Syracuse car can't be original, that was burnt out at Syracuse the following year, the chassis was auctioned off, built up and is with BCE now.
I've got the photos from Mark and will try to post them now.
