Mackay

Mackay Special
Wally Mackay, from Reading, built his 500 between 1947 and 1949. It used a Triumph twin engine initially (acquired from Colin Strang) but this was later replaced by a JAP. The chassis was a ladder type frame with suspension from a Fiat 500 and the gearbox was Triumph. The car was widely admired as a most professional build by an amateur. Sadly, after all this effort, he only appears to have competed in a limited number of events in the later part of the '49 season.
