"I spoke with Tom Pasmore today. He was telling me that during his ownership in the 1960s he did a full chassis up rebuild of the car and engine. The back axle had a new 3.53 crown wheel and pinion, the engine bottom and top end were rebuilt by Syd Lawrence putting in oversize valves in the block. Tom said that he also raced the car at Silverstone during the 60s and how well it performed with 19 inch wheels on the rear."

"The car has original matching numbers and is pictured here in the late 1980s-90 awaiting the ferry back from the Isle of White. We drove all the way back to Manchester in the pouring rain without a hood. The second picture is at the Oulton Park BDC and VSCC event again late 80s-90. The car is the same now as then.

The car has been stored since the early 90s and is exactly as in these photos."
