This car is awesome to drive and has proven to be extremely competitive at all of the hillclimb circuits that it has competed at and regularly finishes very high in the outright places It cannot be road registered, unfortunately!!!!!!
The car is being sold primarily because I need to make room for other pressing restoration projects, READ, I AM GETTING TOO OLD FOR THE PERFORMANCE THAT IT OFFERS AND TOO BE VERY HONEST IT CAN BE FRIGHTENING AT TIMES
POA, BUT ALSO NEGOTIABLE - TELEPHONE JOHN SPINKS 0417 454 402
POA in relation to classic and enthusiasts cars usually means if you can't read the specs, appreciate what it is and work out a rough ball-park price for yourself, then you can't afford it, and/or have no real interest in buying it!
