The '500' racing began in 1946 as a way for 'impecunious
enthusiasts' to go motor racing using 500 cc motorbike engines
instead of the larger capacity engines that prevailed prior to the
war. The idea caught on and was adopted as a new Formula 3 in 1950.
Well-known names raced in 500 s including Stirling Moss. Ken
Tyrrell. Jim Russell. Les Leston. Peter Collins. Don Parker and
Bernie Ecclestone and all drived at famous locations like Shelsley
Walsh. Mallory Park and Silverstone.
Brian J Rowsell built the BJR 500 in 1956 to race in Formula 3. It
was powered by a JAP single cylinder 500 cc engine and featured a
relatively sophisticated tubular chassis. wishbone and coil
suspension at the front and a swing axle at the rear. Brian
competed regularly in it from 1956 through to 1960.
Known results include:
1956 Crystal Palace - Redex Trophy. 14 th in heat
1956 Brands Hatch - 9 th in heat
1958 Brands Hatch - 5 th in junior race
1958 Crystal Palace - Redex Trophy. 18 th
1958 Brands Hatch - Lewis Evans Trophy. 5 th in heat
1959 Brands Hatch - World Sports Trophy. 4 th in heat
1959 Brands Hatch - 8 th in heat
1960 Brands Hatch - Lewis-Evans Trophy. DNF
It was then raced by J. K. Harvey (Brands Hatch 27 th August 1961. br/>11 th) and passed to John Bailey towards the end of 1962 who ran it
in on the hills and in sprints until 1965. It was then put into the
hands of Paul Harris and has been used for hill climbs at Prescott.
This is an opportunity to enter a popular race series run by the
500 Owners Association and a number of hill climbs around the
UK.
