Unveiling the Glennster TS-12: A Bold Fusion of Racing’s Golden Eras

Lund, Sweden – Glenn Billqvist, the visionary behind Recreating History, is proud to announce the launch of an extraordinary new project: the Glennster TS-12. This ambitious race car seamlessly combines the rugged spirit of 1920s motorsport with the aerodynamic sophistication of the 1930s, creating a unique tribute to the evolution of racing design and engineering.

The Glennster TS-12 reimagines the best of both eras. Its rear end is inspired by the iconic pointed-tail grand prix cars of the 1920s, while the front design reflects the sleek and advanced aesthetics of late-1930s racers. This blend of styles results in a car that pays homage to its roots while presenting an innovative, cohesive vision of racing’s golden age.

The vehicle’s powertrain features a 1939 side valve V12 engine with a 4.8-liter displacement and twin superchargers, delivering exhilarating power reminiscent of its era. Complementing this is an independent front suspension inspired by late-1930s advancements, paired with a quick-change rear axle designed to adapt to various racing environments such as hill climbs, circuits, high-speed tracks, and endurance events. With a target speed of over 200 km/h, the Glennster TS-12 aims to perform as impressively as it looks.

As with his past projects, Glenn is thrilled to be supported by his "partners in crime," whose expertise and passion have been instrumental in bringing his visions to life. CoastClassics from Spain and Pela Tools from Sweden join him once again, ensuring the same exceptional quality and craftsmanship for which Recreating History is renowned. Their ongoing collaboration underscores a shared commitment to celebrating and preserving motorsport heritage.

The Glennster TS-12 is a labour of love with no fixed deadline, allowing for an estimated timeline of two to three years. This flexible approach ensures that every detail of the car is perfected. Fans and enthusiasts can follow the progress of this exciting project here below, where updates will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this exceptional race car.

Recreating History continues to honour and redefine the legacy of historic motorsport. With the Glennster TS-12, Glenn and his trusted collaborators aim to inspire the next chapter in the celebration of automotive artistry and innovation.
