1960 Kieft Formula Junior

The history of British motorsport is rife with postwar racecar manufacturers that saw their genesis in the hands of a dedicated engineer or enthusiast. Names like Colin Chapman (Lotus), John Cooper (Cooper) and Eric Broadley (Lola) are just a few of such individuals that set out to build a personal toy and ended up creating a national industry. While many of these names are now hallowed, there are literally dozens of others that saw varying degrees of success but, for any number of reasons, haven’t attained the same level of notoriety. One such constructor was Cyril Kieft.
