that was the Keith Seume (sp?) car, right? His article on that made a big impression on me as a kid, I remember when he described taking it for a test drive with the owner - he accelerated and was not too impressed, then the owner told him to press the accelerator harder, he did, opened the secondaries, and described the Armageddon that followed!!!

Stuart Valance restored it back in the day, probably one of the first broadcast sheet type Restorations over here. That car spent a lot of time in the RPM workshop over the years and Passed through at least three owners. I rebuilt the engine when it belonged to Ian Giles who I still deal with today. Interestingly the original numbers matching engine for that car is still in the UK and now resides in a certain red 70 Cuda convertible. Prior to that it was fitted to a 32 Ford hot rod. It’s amazing how many Hemi engines got separated from their original cars only to surface years later.

You're right Duncan. It was red when one of the Mullan brothers had it ( I think it was Colin) and was still red when owned by Ashley Troop. This was before Stu Vallance had the car.
