All suspension components were stripped, cleaned, powder coated, re-bushed and then re-fitted, ball joints and drive shafts were also replaced.
The gearbox was stripped, checked and then rebuilt with a new slightly lighter than original clutch supplied by Roland Jaekel which is good for 350 bhp. The engine was stripped, cleaned checked and rebuilt replacing components where necessary.
The car is running on a 600 Holley carburettor with Pertronix electronic ignition and a more modern high torque starter motor. The interior has been re-trimmed and fitted with rake adjustable seats for comfort(original seats are supplied with the car and have been re-trimmed).
Power steering by Scott Bell has been fitted which makes the car much lighter at slower speeds. The original rear brake calipers have been replaced by more modern Wilwood units with a handbrake modification .
Lots of history and invoices included in the history file from Italy, the U. S and the U. K.
A stunning example
