Not quick, patchy brakes, nominal steering, but many, many smiles per gallon!!
See you at the Rally.

Hi, just joined the club - here’s my gorgeous 1954 ex-trialer. Shortened S1 chassis to 80”, roll bar, bucket seats, rear fuel tank and a Rover V8.
Not quick, patchy brakes, nominal steering, but many, many smiles per gallon!!
See you at the Rally.

Haha, it flies - up to about 47mph… then I run out of gears, and bravery.

looks cool - who needs brakes, just carry a land anchor for emergency stops!!! 
it’s a V8 and I eat gearboxes for breakfast!
