The Geoff Crossley Special, a home-built sports car crafted more than half a century ago by the renowned British racer Geoff Crossley, is headed to auction at Bonhams. Auto.ru reports the upcoming sale.
Crossley devoted more than 5,000 hours to the build. The chassis and body were conceived and assembled by Crossley himself, with the powertrain featuring four Weber carburetors. Throughout the project, he revised engine internals and even modified the crankcase. The ambitious undertaking spanned six years, from 1968 to 1974, and stood as a testament to his hands-on engineering and racing spirit.
For fans of British motorsport, Geoff Crossley remains a familiar name, boasting more than 40 wins from approximately 200 starts during his racing career. His meticulous approach to building, tuning, and racing is a defining part of his legacy in the sport.
The vehicle is currently valued at roughly £30,000 to £50,000 and is being sold by the heirs of Jeff Crossley, continuing a family-linked chapter in the car’s storied history.
