handbrake

[Stuart Giles]

Some pretty substantial and extensive metal work locating that back axe Stuart, what do you use the car for?

Well, my special was built to be used as a trials car in the late 50s. So, it has cambered springs as you'd expect. Despite this handicap, I decided to use the car in hill climb and sprint events anyway. The Panhard rods I fitted on the front and the rear along with the antiroll bar fitted to the rear axle improved the cornering no end; you can see the stress on the rear tyre in this photo of the car at the Lydden race circuit.
