Looking forwards to a great read today.

+ 1.
Great to read that Chas Jones now owns KN 0312 which has the ex J H T Smith body originally built for K3015. Chas will be very competitive racing this superb car.

To clarify, the article in the Bulletin states that the car acquired by Charles Jones is KN0412, not KN0312, but I don’t see how one can say, as it does in the article, that it started out life as K3015: it was always KN0412. The car that Bob Jones looked after, and raced, in the 1970s and 80s when it was owned by J.H.T. Smith and subsequently by his son Andrew, was indeed K3015/2 - but that is not this car even if it carries the J.H.T. Smith single seater body and incorporates some of the components of K3015/2 as explained in the article. For the full story of the J.H.T. Smith K3 up to 1979, look no further than the article on it by Denis Jenkinson in the February 1979 issue of Motor Sport which I reproduced in the 2019 Triple-M Register Yearbook.
Edit: the car is referred to as both KN0312 and KN0412 in the Bulletin. Karl Wiessmann in The Hawke History suggests it’s KN0312

0312 is correct Simon, as seen in attached pics taken when the car was in a Swedish museum..

Thanks, Teifion. It’s always good to have these things confirmed as otherwise there’s the potential for confusion down the line
