Alloy fuel tank with integrated swirl pot
Aeroquip fuel lines throughout
Wosp 1. 4kW high-torque starter motor

The result is a classic that starts and drives with the ease of a modern car, without losing its original charm.

Dual-circuit braking system for enhanced safety
Inertia reel seat belts
LED headlamps (original appearance retained)
