EX186 - Twin Cam factory race car, never saw competition

EX186 at the factotry in 1958
EX-186 was a 1958 reincarnation of one of the EX182 cars. It was originally reported to be LBL304, which would have been EX182-40. More recent evidence points to that chassis ultimately being reconstructed a couple of times in 1959, ultimately being reincarnated as SRX 210, the famous 1959-1961 Le Mans racing fastback coupe. The other possibility for EX-186 is chassis EX182-41. Given the penchant for the factory to swap registration numbers and chassis plates at will, this issue may never be resolved.
EX-186 was completed as a factory works car but was never raced. The original engine was a 1489cc Twin Cam (not 1588). For more information and more photos see the Restoration section.
