This pic is it just after being liberated from the Museum.
It didn't take much to get it running.
As bought it was orange, no hood or frame, no windscreen. Cycle mudguards and NOT supercharged although it had a really nice 10 stud blown engine with a perfect crankcase.
Correct exhaust manifold with Nippy inlet manifold and downdraft SU.
At the same time Mike Bills owned VE 4492 which was 8 stud blown but was never as much fun to drive as JF.
