A well known car having had just one family ownership since 1948, when it was converted to the current 4.5 litre specification. Original body by Chalmer & Hoyer of London. Extensive 1950s competition history with many evocative photos. Recent specialist engine rebuild including new steel crankshaft and rods, lightened flywheel etc. The best specification.
