Owned by the RREC

1927 Originally a Barker Tourer later re-bodied as a Shooting Brake by A.R. McLeod & Son GHJ15

The chassis was delivered to Barker & Co Ltd on January 5th 1927 for the fitting of an open tourer body on the orders of The Clyde Automobile Co Ltd acting on behalf of the Rt. Hon. The Earl of Moray, Kinfaune Castle, Perth. The completed car was delivered to Clyde Auto on March 31st of the same year. The total sale price was £1100.

The car was later sold to the Hon. James Start in London in the summer of 1930 and purchased by members of the RREC, Mr & Mrs Mitchell in 1957 sporting its current shooting brake body. Little is known of the building of the shooting brake body by A R McLeod & Son.

The car has been extensively modernised since original design, having an extra bench seat fitted which gives it more capacity to carry 8 people. The vehicle enjoyed many trips abroad whilst owned by the Mitchells including to Barcelona in 1959.

This stunning car was bequeathed to the RREC in 2021 and has spent the next two years being restored to an excellent standard. In September 2023 the car was delivered to the RREC Headquarters at Hunt House in Paulerspury, Northants where it is proudly displayed. GHJ15 will continue to be conserved by RREC to ensure it is enjoyed by all Club members for many years
