- Moulds for front nose cone; nose cone inner support section; roof and windscreen T section; roof tail and rear bonnet
- Ideal for anyone restoring or campaigning a Costin-Nathan and kept by Frank Costin for decades
In July 2016 H&H sold the alloy-bodied Costin-Nathan works prototype for £80,000 (some three times the estimate) despite it being in need of total restoration. Only a few of the fibreglass-bodied production versions were produced, but these light, slippery, mid-engined sports racers nevertheless enjoyed a considerable degree of success in their day. In common with the original Marcos he also penned, Frank Costin designed the Costin-Nathan GTs around Gaboon plywood monocoque chassis, which were then clothed in suitably aerodynamic bodies. This unique lot concerns the moulds from which those bodies were made and includes: Front nose cone; Nose cone inner support section; Roof and windscreen T section; Roof tail and Rear bonnet. In each case the fibreglass is in good condition, but the wooden support braces could do with replacement. These moulds would be invaluable to anybody contemplating the restoration of one of these cars and therefore represent a unique opportunity.
