OUR CAR

 

The car was purchased with a reconditioned engine which was then treated to a single 1.75" HIF SU carb conversion, electronic ignition, a Kenlowe fan and an alternator. During it`s six years with me it has also had to have a re-con gearbox, a re-con differential, and a new radiator. It is a fun 'second' car and as such is used throughout the year, therefore the safety features include grooved/slotted discs with kevlar pads, a roll over bar and fire extinguisher. Normal annual mileage is around the three thousand mark normally with good reliability.
