Ulster 1935 Team Cars

(1935)
(Third Series, 1½ litre, LM18, LM19, LM21, LM21)

The 1935 Team cars were the very last of the works 1½ litre cars. Three cars were built for Le Mans. LM18, 19 and 20. They were very similar to the 1934 cars except for sloping bonnets leading to a lower radiator. These wonderful cars are regarded by experts as the pinnacle of pre-war sportscars; certainly A.C. Bertelli admitted that these were his best and favourite of his cars.

This is LM18, which achieved 12th overall at Le Mans and a 5th place in the TT of 1935. It was photographed competing in the Pre-war Sports Car Race at Coys Festival, Silverstone in 1999. It has also been more recently photographed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegence 2013 competing in the Aston Martin Centenary Class

LM19 was probably the least successful of the 1935 Team Cars after crashing at Le Mans and being flagged off the TT later in the year. But thankfully today it competes with success in AMOC club races throughout the season.

LM20, another of the 1935 Team cars scored a splendid 3rd in the Le Mans 24 hour race plus 1st in class. In the 1935 TT, the car came in a creditable 4th.

LM21 was added to the Team after Le Mans but prior to the 1935 TT event where it was placed 11th. It was photographed in the paddock at Silverstone (number 10) together with LM18, at Coys Festival in 1996
