This is an important historical car with excellent provenance. It has just completed a full restoration by renowned Westfield 11 builder Jim Bickley maintaining as many original parts as possible.
Currently fitted with a torquey 1329cc a series engine with a 731 cam, Aldon ignition. Dave Wells lightened steel flywheel and an unleaded head. It has completed 400 miles since a complete rebuild. Weighing less than 500 kg it is surprisingly brisk .

As a point of note , this car comfortably seats a 6' person in current setup, unlike other we have had .
