Reynard, Bicester, England.  Reynard was at one time an extremely successful racing car manufacturer.  It produced 11 of the Reynard 95D for Formula 3000, Formula Nippon and Formula Holden.  In the 1995 F3000 series Reynard took the first two places in the championship with Vincenzo Sospiri beating Ricardo Rosset.  Both used Ford Cosworth engines.   In the Nippon series Reynard finished second with Toranosuke Takagi driving and scoring 3 wins.  This car had the Mugen Honda engine.  Since then the cars have been used as hillclimb cars with some success.
