FOR SALE
Allan Herridge & the Beadle Brothers 'Glacier Bearing Special' formerly known as ‘Motovation’.
Built by Speed and Custom Parts
This iconic U.K. dragster is offered for sale as an investment opportunity for a committed and serious collector of race cars. ‘Motovation' holds a prized position in the foundation years of British drag racing as do its three creators Allan Herridge and the Beadle brothers. It was a standout performer in the early years of Santa Pod Raceway as the British Drag Racing Champion of 1968 and its successes on the track in the U.K. and Scandinavia are extensively documented online and in print. After 53 years away from the drag strips this sale represents a once in over a half century opportunity to own an absolutely unique piece of British drag racing history.
‘Motovation’ has been painstakingly restored to its end of 1970 season condition by meticulous reference to archive photos and video footage. It has been preserved for posterity rather than being returned to its ‘as-new’ condition which would have eradicated its battle scars, unique decals and metal flake paint scheme. Restoration began in 2019 but due to the pandemic only completed in late 2022. ‘Motovation' is being sold with full proof of provenance and ownerships and several spares such as original new double clutch plate, injection jets, clutch alignment tool etc.
