Nice to see these things as dragged from the barn. The KPH scale and pointer stuck on the original speedo is interesting. The fuel system is much modified. No SU pumps on the bulkhead and SU carbs replaced with RAGs ?? Also no sign of the control box.

I would love that car and be careful not to over restore it but it has ended up in the States where it will probably get the chrome plate treatment or even hot rodded. I can imagine some Yank fitting a 350 Chevy V8 and "awesome" chrome wire wheels and thinking he has improved it. |

I think you know thats what I mean.
For some reason the Yanks, some of whom I admire, feel the need to apply the adjective "awesome" to such dross as if it were a noun.? |
