Having recently been restored and receiving a few upgrades in the process, I have had some great fun with this and whilst I’d love to keep having fun with it, I have other itches that I’d like to scratch.

The original chassis has been sandblasted and 2k painted

The original Front axle has received new kingpins, hub seals, track rod ends, fully refurbished brakes with superior shoe material, new shock absorbers. The springs have been reconditioned at Midland Motor Springs.

The original front wheels have been to Tudor Wheels for stripping, inspection and recommissioning with new Blockley crossply tyres and innertubes. The rear wheels have been blasted and painted too, again using new Blockley crossply tyres and innertubes as per the fronts.

The original Bishop type steering box has been reconditioned

Fully rewired with added safety cut-off switch at the rear

The brake system has been completely overhauled and upgraded to a dual circuit master cylinder with adjustable rear braking effort

The rear axle is an 8 inch mounted to the original rear springs and traction bars. It runs a limited slip differential, 3.55-1 gears, ‘Strange’ halfshafts, 9” Big bearing housings and upgraded halfshaft bearings. The brakes have been completely overhauled with new drums, shoes, cylinders, all linkages, springs and new handbrake cables. New rear shocks and the rear springs have been reconditioned.

Fully TIG welded Safety cage using the correct 1 5/8” CDS tubing which makes up the main roll hoop/supports, side impact bars and dash bar. it has 4 point harness mounts for both seats.

The cooling system has been upgraded to an aluminium type radiator with an electric fan, made by Coolex.

Power comes from a 355 small block engine which has been recently overhauled –
• 4 Bolt main block
• 10.5-1 compression
• TRW forged pistons
• World Products Sportsman 2 heads
• Crane 1.5-1 full roller rockers
• Edelbrock Performer RPM camshaft / lifters
• Brodix Dual plane intake manifold
• Cal Custom rocker covers
• Mallory Unilite electronic ignition
• 725cfm Holley Vac Sec Carburettor
• Milodon high capacity sump
• Melling High Volume oil pump

Recently overhauled Borg Warner Super T10 4 speed manual gearbox
• New gaskets, bearings and seals all round
• New syncros
• Hays Billet steel SFI spec flywheel
• Centerforce clutch
• Hurst shifter

Perfect hillclimb / sprint car or country lane fun!
It weights 800kgs with a pretty much perfectly 50/50 weight split front to rear, so it handles great and has excellent traction thanks to the fantastic Blockley tyres.

If the photos and description have built an image of the car being a bit mad, you’d be correct. Its loud and downright uncivilised, with all of the power you will ever need, then quite a bit more. It really is the most raw motoring experience you will ever have. That being said, it’s perfectly happy to just plod around town which I do regularly, and it's more comfortable than you might think!

Performance-wise, I drove it to the Pod and ran it at the Hot Rod Drags a few weeks back. It went through at 12.07/119mph on the crossplies (having to launch from idle and feather it off the line). Put yourself some sticky tyres on and its well down into the 11's. I'll be doing this at the next opportunity if I haven't sold it before then. I have some wheelie bars made up for this occasion.
