Interesting challenges where the long range leaded steel fuel tanks, allowing the car to complete the 500 miles races at Brooklands without pit stopping. The Bentley Draper hydraulic shock absorbers, which due to their poor oil seals where topped up from a gravity tank under the bonnet. The cut down radiator that had every race resulted engraved onto its shell and the recreation of the beautiful Gurney Nutting two seater body work. This painstaking restoration is a fine example of our determination to make the cars correct, to every rivet head, wood screw and type of finishing of the components.
