The Crosslé 9S Sports Racing Car
The Crosslé 9S Sports Racing car, frequently seen competing successfully on the race tracks of Europe in the ‘60s, is now available in a ‘late-run’ series made by the original manufacturers – The Crosslé Car Company of Holywood, Northern Ireland.






The original Crosslé 9S was conceived by John Crosslé in 1965 to contest the European International Two Litre Group Six Championship against the might of Chevron, Lotus, Elva, Brabham and Lola on circuits as diverse as Montlhéry, Phoenix Park and Sliverstone.

The car is now available as a ‘late-run’ series from the original manufacturers operating from the same factory as in 1957, continuing the Crosslé tradition of building strong, well constructed cars.

The 9S has the appealing classic shape of sports racers designed in pre-downforce days but it is now supplied with a modern and extremely reliable Ford Zetec engine prepared by Dunnell Engines, giving long lasting service between rebuilds.
