"Hi,
In the 1980's my father had Auto Restorations rebuild
the engine but no body work was done by them at that time.
Also you have the original engine 353 in chassis 260 but Ron Hassel, a previous
owner of 260, told me only the cam drive housing was from our car not the block or crank case.
This is a great website as a valuable record of our cars." |

Joe Studholme took this photograph of his father, brother, sister and mother with 348 at Kingston in 1952. Note
the angle of the one-piece windscreen, and its shorter brackets, changed by Trevor Timms to a longer, and stronger type. |

with a long, and gravel

course, road ahead. |
