The appendix will consist of a description of all the one-off specials that competed in Monoposto during that period. If anyone has any information about any of he following or about the people that built them could you please let me know. I am confident of getting or have already got as much as I need about Fubar, Anco, Beagle(s), Viking, and Chamox. Apologies about the formatting of the list, this is how it copied from an orderly Word document! Many thanks.

Notes.
· This may not be an exhaustive list.
· It is not certain whether all cars listed were genuinely one-off specials. They will be positively included or excluded as more evidence comes to light. Those shown in bold type are definite.
· Some cars listed were known to be under construction but it is not certain whether they ever raced
