1959 Buckler DD2
The Buckler Cars Company started life in 1947, and was founded in Reading, Berkshire by Derek Buckler. Between 1947 and 1962 the company made some 500 cars with many of them being made in Crowthorne, Berkshire, where a plaque can be seen on the site of the former factory.
The Buckler DD2 was introduced around 1957 and carried on in production up to 1962. It was built around a tubular space frame chassis, which was adaptable, at the time of order, to accept any engine up to 2 litres and a variety of suspension options including De Dion with inboard brakes. The chassis incorporating coaxial coil spring shock absorber units fitted all round, was then clothed in a modern (for the time) Glass Reinforced Plastic bodyshell.
This 1959 Buckler DD2 1.5 litre, 800 KBH, is seen at Prescott hill climb on 15th May 2022.
