"I am just completing the rebuild of the original engine (HT1650) for this car as a
3-4½. On this engine, I started to collect bits several years ago with the thought in mind that I would put a 4 1/2 L into my 3 litre, (formerly owned chassis TN1551), but the car was so correct that I didn't want to spoil the originality... I am beginning to think I am too old to bother with another WO..." - Malcolm Hobbs, March 8, 2016 |
