PROTOTYPE Twin Cam - TC-108-499

Twin Cam Prototype
- YDL/14/499 -- PJB 147

PJB 147 front quarter, 1958

Pictures below from Safety Fast, January 1983.

Saved from total loss -- Doug Brierley's ex-works demonstrator YD1 502.
PJB 147 will next be seen close to or better than her former known glory.

This caption from Safety Fast, January 1983, is apparently in error. In Safety Fast, October 1985, another note appeared indicating this car is most likely not YD1 502. Additional conjecture implies that this car may actually be a few serial numbers earlier, being one of the three prototype Twin Cams.

DVLA still show's it as being registered (but this number may or may not be the same car) .

2 RHD and 1 LHD prototype cars were supposedly built. ORX885 is the other RHD car and it bears car number 500. PJB.147 appears in lots of promos for the Twin Cam and was black with black.
