Godsal

The Godsal Sports Tourer is a unique, one-off, sports car designed in 1935 by Charles Godsal, son of barrister and inventor Herbert Godsal, and built by Research Engineers Ltd of London.
The Godsal incorporates a contemporary Ford [Flathead V8 engine] with single twin-choke carburettor achieving approximately at 5,500 rpm, a 4-speed Riley preselector transmission, a sliding pillar front suspension with live rear axle, 4-wheel drum brakes, and coachwork by Corsica Coachworks.
The Godsal featured prominently in the 1969 film Mosquito Squadron.
The car featured in an episode of the Motor [Trend (TV network)|MotorTrend] programme Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carini where it was completely re-restored at Carini's F40 Motorsports in Connecticut.
Re-restored at F40 Motorsports after its original purchase by Bob Morris in 2017 for $203,500 including premium, it took top prize in the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance of 2020.
It was auctioned at Amelia on 20 May 2021 by Bonhams, but was unsold after a high bid of $620,000 that did not meet the reserve price; however, it was later sold that day by Bonhams for an undisclosed amount.
