One of my customers ''test drove'' one of them a year ago, he was expecting something special considering what they were asking for it. He reckoned the 10 miles was enough and there was no way he was going to spend that kind of money on something that he would only use very occasionally.

Not exactly on the road, but it is road legal. A rare 125T factory racing car for the 1971 B&H 500 race.

Hi all
Spotted this beautiful Austin A40 Sports in my local garage this morning. The aluminum body was made at the Jensen factory according to the owner.

The car under the cover is a Triumph TR6. Under plastic, on grass.... not very good for rust prevention
