A 60-year love affair with Chassis RT1542

Contributed by Christopher Power (Owner since 1958)

 

This car has been owned by me for 60 years.

 

~ Attended the 25th anniversary of Le Mans in 1958
~ All "matching numbers" and totally original. Still runs really well.
~ Still with original body, trim etc.
~ Repainted (from BRG to dark blue) in 1959 and still pretty good.
~ Approx 150,000 miles from new and service record from 1935.
