Description
Further reduced - cheapest route into historic racing and potential small capacity class winner.
Extremely rare road/ race car believed to be one of three entered by the works in the Nurburgring 500km in 1961. It is fully road legal and race ready in many respects, complying with the regulations of the HSCC Historic Road Sports Series
It could have Goodwood Revival potential, a Delta having won a race there in 1961 driven by Jeff Uren.
It has recently been the subject of a complete restoration retaining almost complete originality but the originally flat topped wheel arches have been slightly rounded.
The 997cc engine spec includes steel main bearing caps, steel connecting rods and rocker gear pillars, lightened rockers, forged pistons, race cam and vernier timing wheel. Although currently fitted with a hollow iron crankshaft, a steel crank requiring regrind to -30 comes with the car.
Another GSM restoration project is available.
Partial rebuild about 20 years ago not completed due to death of the then owner. I acquired it four years ago and recently completed the rebuild.
