This is a late series
4.5 litre, shortened and rebodied
in period. Several distinguished recent
past owners have spent considerable
time and expense rebuilding the car
for ultimate fitness for fast international
travelling and it has potential for
further development as an out-and-out
racer.
Being a proper 4.5 litre, and carrying
period coachwork, it is eligible for
FIA and FIVA certification and therefore
any international event, touring,
sporting and racing.
The present family has enjoyed faultless
and fast runs to the Continent, benefitting
from the new crank and rods, superior
brakes, light flywheel, reliable coil
ignition. |
