Was a friend of mine (Gavin) was almost 20 years ago now. He's just finished restoration of the body. The engine was built by QED to produce 240 BHP. It runs twin 48mm Dellorto carbs and electronic ignition. Old school by today's standards but with that much power in 1000 Kg's of RWD Sunbeam fitted with a works spec LSD, it really flew. I always wanted to see it on the quarter mile but sadly he never did that. We did a crude 0 to 60 run which was sub 6 seconds. She was one fast car. Still is but he doesn't run her hard now the body is so pristine.
