What a lovely car! Of course it should be driven, it wold be a shame not to, having spent all that time and money restoring it.

Thank you Bert for sharing that. That car is so gorgeous I wish I had the funds and the garage space to put that next to my green 4/4.

Gorgeous, although I'd prefer one with cycle wings. No car should be too nice to drive!

As Tim H commented, cars must be driven!
Slightly confused by the sideways mounted SU, so it functions as a down-draft carb. I didn't think SUs could be mounted that way, and still work properly.....anyone know for sure? Anyway the carb isn't period, more 1950s.

Anyway the carb isn't period, more 1950s. I'm with you on this one Peter, how would an SU work mounted that way? My experience of SUs (as fitted to my old Mini etc) says that it wouldn't. Perhaps someone on TM will provide the answer.

From what I can see the SU is highly modified - cannot be standard/original fitment.
