The year 2008 marks the 50th Anniversary of this unique and famous marque, the founder, Major Arthur Mallock, having sold the first customer Mallock U2 in 1958.
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, Mallock cars will provide the main events and focus of the 750 Motor Club Festival weekend on August 23–24, at Silverstone. These will include a static display, a Mallock “allcomers” race on Saturday, and a Grand Parade of Mallock cars past and present, on Sunday morning.
The main event on Sunday will be The Mallock Gold Cup, a handicap race open to any Mallock car, from an original Mk2 to the current Mk35 “Synergy” Clubmans formula car.
Richard and Ray Mallock, sons of the founder, are making a special plea to all Mallock owners, including hillclimb and sprint cars, to bring their cars to Silverstone to race or display.
“The 750 Club has had strong links with Mallock for over 50 years,” says Richard, who currently heads U2 production and sales. “A magnificent celebration meeting for Arthur’s 75th birthday was run in 1993, and we would dearly love to surpass that large turnout in August.”
Records show that a very high percentage of the 400–500 cars produced are still in existence and many are still competing and winning on a regular basis. If you own a Mallock and would like to support what Arthur Mallock and his sons have created for over 50 years for the enjoyment of the club competitor, by racing or displaying your car, email Peter Burnham at peterburnham@dsl.pipex.com.
