JW4 Single Seater Racing Car

Johnny Walker JW4 1966 single seater racing car
Johnny Walker first began producing racing cars in 1965 with his prototype Walker Type 65, the following year the JW4 Mk2 his first production racing car was released to the market at the 1966 Olympia Racing Car Show.

The JW is a thrill to drive and eligible for Hillclimb up to 600cc, Sprint events, historic, HSCC Formula, Formula 4, Junior (Class G7) and 500 Formula 3 circuit racing offering potential buyers a very affordable entry into Motorsport or to enjoy in a private collection. I raced the car several years ago at Hillclimb and Sprint events in the UK, and we also took her out on a few track days with friends, and by far it was the most exhilarating single seater to drive, drifting and powering out of the bends, the car responds well and power to weight ratio is high! Reluctantly i'm letting her go due to a move.

This particular 1966 JW4 has quite a comprehensive history of past owners and competition over the last 50 years and has probably one of the most complete histories of all the surviving JW4's of which more detail can be provided on request.

Having been restored to current safety standards, it would originally have been fitted with a 250cc Villiers engine but is currently fitted with a 500cc single cylinder GM speedway engine and a Norton gearbox.


This is a unique opportunity to own one of the last few remaining JW4's and with a full history. With a competitive guide price of £12,500 prospective buyers are encouraged to contact me to discuss the car and for further details.
There are a substantial number of spare parts also available or separately on request.


The car is located in Swansea and is available for any inspection or provision of further photographic detail and shipping to any UK or overseas buyer.
