From the factory ledger, the first car in the Two-Litre section is Chassis L800. This was an experimental car, a 1939 drop-head body on a two-litre chassis, first registered on 6th April 1946.
The prototype Two-Litre saloon, Chassis L801, was first registered on 3rd January 1947. This is shown below.
Dates of ACtion Archives etc about the Two-Litre are:
General: March 2004, May 2006, June 2006, November 2007;
Racing: July 2010, July 2012;
Rallying: February 2012, November 2013, April 2014, March 2015;
Personal Interest: 'Sowing The Seeds' August 2013
Regarding anniversaries, we celebrated the Two-Litre's 60th in 2007, based on the date of the first saloon. I suggest we leave it to the Registrar to adjudicate on the 70th. Either way, you will gather from the August 2013 article that I intend to be pretty near the front waving a very large flag!
Best wishes John
PS Any assistance you can offer with identifying the chassis number of NNU 911 would be hugely appreciated. All the usual sources have no information. Car details are - Year: 1949; body colour: metallic grey - later light blue; Interior: blue leather; Agent: probably Cavendish Motors Chesterfield; hydro-mechanical brakes; pintle side-lights; single dip headlights; Fram bypass oil filter, ignition key MRN 1 .........
