It retains its original body, the only body that has ever been on this chassis.

Gearbox fully rebuilt with new gears and bearings etc,
Engine fully rebuilt and new cylinder block made by HCS (and 6 extras all supplied to other owners of original Testa Fissa cars)

Very fast indeed. Stops extremely well and will actually lock up all four wheels at speed if needed.

A full photo documented rebuild of the engine in minute detail comes with the car. Also included in the sale is a copy of Baylis?s autobiography where FGU 108 is prominently featured and illustrated.
