Rawlson Racing Cars
The Rawlson cars were built in Folkstone, England in the early 70's by Mike Rawlings and Barry Shephard. The name Rawlson actually comes from a combination of Mike Rawlings' and James Henderson's surnames. Unfortunately James passed away, but Barry went on to join Mike to build cars in the late 60's. They built a number of sports racing cars from 1968 onwards including Can Am cars in 1972. Today they are still very much involved in motorsport. Rawlson Racing are experts in the restoration, fabrication, engineering and design of classic sports cars and historic racing cars.
In 1973 one(or two) CR11 chassis, 2L group C, were constructed from the previous C10 model. The Rawlson was fitted with a Geoff Richardson built 2l BDG-Cosworth and FT200 Hewland gearbox. It was raced by John Gillmeister in an Interserie event in 1974. This would have been probably the last race, shortage of funds. The C11 was sold to Roger Hurst of Lenham Hurst who probably sold it on to Ivor Goodwin.
He entered the cat in the 1000 km Nürburgring 1975. But a lack of funding meant the car wasn't as competitive as it could have been.
The car had a rebuilt and prepared by one of the engineers of Rawlson.
The current owner is a local Vancouver man, Ian Wood. He raced the car in some CanAm events and now in US historic events.
