Goodwood rides with Dick Skipworth in the Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 race car transporter for the pair's last journey together - to Bonhams in London - to be sold at auction.
The Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 broke auction records and became the most expensive historic race car transporter ever. It will now go to a new owner in New York.

No sound like the commercial ts3. Pure magic

I think it was the president of the Ford Anglia club in UK in the late '80 (a quite young man) who said he was not worried by the prices of older cars rising (remember in those years there was the "Ferrari bubble" and we were just starting feeling that was not a bubble but a tendency that would have involved also much more proletarian cars) and he said that we had no reason to worry for the moment, for the real end of the world would have come when it would have been not the passionate guy anymore able to afford the car he loved but only the businness man with no knowledge and no heart. He thought it would have been impossible, while that moment came, and much sooner than anyone of us could have feared.

In the old days, the transport sounded better than the race cars they carried ;)

In the past fortunate enough to have been in the cab area. The then owners were extremely friendly. How come I saw it last year 2019 at the Goodwood Revival? No one was around it at the time so no one to ask. Nice to still see it though.

Was it built on a coach chassis, or a QX truck chassis? As someone else has said, it was the engine which was TS3, not the truck model.

The TS3 is the engine, by the way, not the truck.

It has been bought by an American and I understand that it will go there eventually, but for the time being I think it's still in the UK. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner sold it again before it was due to go Stateside.

I ran some trucks with this engine - the Commer Maxi. The engine was good and light and reliable. They would on rare occasions start backwards and run, the blower drive shaft would also break if the engine was over run downhill Bodgy

Incorrect - designed and developed by Eric Coy & team at Humber Works, for Commer & Karrier range, Rootes Grp BEFORE they acquired Tilling.

@skylined5534 2 жыл бұрын

Also not 'supercharged' - the blower was for exhaust scavenging.

Whoever is driving it is continually "slipping" the clutch staring out and between shifts. Neat ole transporter, though... I'll bet it was "hard" to let it go after so many years of ownership..... like losing a close family member.

@somerandomgoogleuser3374 of course it's a 2t...but.. its a diesel 2t, there's no oil mixture, it just uses diesel like any 4t engine. That's blue smoke, it's burning oil.
