    our 1964 1275S, fresh from the restorers. though not for driving anymore

    What’s the point of having it then! It’s a car, not a painting

    chronic trailing throttle oversteer

    ah, happy days nights
    we “all” had em when I was younger (still got the number plate from my 1st one ( 🙁 – wasn’t the oversteer really, more the black ice that killed it – well, that and the lamppost)

    mines a 1979 special. the shell is solid but a little rough around the edges. been fitted with a multipoint cage, bucket seats and harnesses, cad brakes on 10″revolutions, minifins on the rear, MED built 1380 engine (wedged, bladed cross drilled crank, lightened and balanced s rods, forged pistons, 286 cam, which we may be changing to the 930 cam), ported and flowed large bore head, hif44 flowed carb (replaces the weber 45 dcoe that was ace but NOISY), straight cut gears, straight cut drops, super light flywheel and clutch, digidash, aldon dizzy but currently being converted to a distributor-less mappable ignition system. its always been extremely quick. about to get a little bit smoother. i love it.
    need to find a decent set of rollers in the leicester area to get it set up once the ignitions sorted. no pics I’m afraid. i don’t like the cage or harnesses particularly but they were in it when i got it and can’t be bothered to remove it as part of it is welded in!

    it’s for shows and meets, and then it will be sold as I can’t afford to run it and keep pristine.
