The Connaught Type B was a Formula 1 racing car built by Connaught Engineering in 1954 and used until 1958. The first Connaught Type B car first appeared in the autumn of 1954. It had a streamlined one-piece body and a distinctive tail fin. Unlike the A-Type, which was powered by a Lea Francis unit, the B-Type had an Alta front engine with two overhead camshafts. The engine produced 176 kW &#40;240 hp&#41; and gave the car plenty of propulsion. Like the A-Type, the B-Type had a preselector gearbox, a front suspension with wishbones and coil springs and a De Dion axle at the rear. In 1956, the factory team only took part in two world championship races, but they were astonishingly successful. Ron Flockhart came third in the Italian Grand Prix, and in the same race Jack Fairman, who had already finished fourth in the British Grand Prix, came fifth. In 1955, Tony Brooks won the Syracuse Grand Prix with the B-Type. The car had a special wedge-shaped body that gave it the name "toothpaste tube". Brooks' victory was the first victory by a British driver with a British car in a Grand Prix race for 31 years. The last Grand Prix with a Connaught was driven by Stuart Lewis-Evans, who came fourth in the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix with a B-Type. Connaught stopped racing before the successor model, the Type C, was completed. Bernie Ecclestone bought some of the vehicles in 1958 and entered two Connaught Type Bs in the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix, but neither he nor his teammate Bruce Kessler managed to qualify for the race.
