I remember a Speed 25 open tourer that he built in the late 1970’s/early 80’s…….built totally from original 1930’s new components that had been is store for years, but inevitably first registered late 70’s/early 80’s on completion, but as a period car. It was pale blue and I last saw it at Le Havre, returning to the UK, driven by it’s new owner. Can’t recall it’s Reg. No.

The pointed tail special is the 4.3 ‘Brutus’ (EHP99 from memory). Don’t recall who build it by it went through a number of AOC / VSCC hands including Peter Woodley and Brian Chant
