Regularly street driven to car shows, "support" transportation at the track and ice cream runs...

Restored in the mid 80’s when it was reskinned and the frame was replaced. At that time it lost its original frame ID tag and the originality cannot be documented.  Still maintains its original 4 wheel drum brakes with Ford 8” twin leading shoe fronts and Triumph Herald rack and pinion steering. Continuously updated and improved, never bent. Excellent tubular space frame chassis, polished alloy body with cycle fenders and polished alloy tonneau.

Very wide torque band. NOT a peaky race engine.
