This is a very rare and well prepared road/rally car with over £30k having been lavished on its restoration and preparation. Quite remarkably it has only had 2 owners from new and only covered 54k Miles since new. It was sold new on 27th February 1960 to a Mr. Brown by The Car Mart in Catford. London. The original Bill of Sale is included in the history file! The car was purchased from the first owner in 1994 and was then entrusted to Hightone Restorations. who comprehensively restored the car in the early 2000's with a full photographic record with accompanying invoices. The car was then upgraded throughout the following decade to a fast road/rally spec with a view to competing in various events.

A brief summary of the specification is as follows:
Original 948cc engine increased to 978cc
Extensive Cylinder Head Mods by Oselli and Rob Walker
Compression Ration approx 11:1
Camshaft: MD266
Carb: Weber 45DCOE
Exhaust: LCB
Gearbox fitted with close ratio straight cut gears
Front Disc Brake Conversion
Rear brakes converted to Hydraulic/Mechanical operation
Rear Shocks from Lever Arm to Telescoopic
Uprated Springs
Alternator
Twin Fuel Tanks
Six Point Roll Cage
Plumbed in Fire Extinguisher
Full Rally Tripmeters and Clocks
66bhp at Rolling Road

The car has a FIVA identity card and would make a perfect fast road/rally car. all the hard work has been done. there are many spares with the car and I have not seen a better one on the open market!
