Damn lurkers and their foreign jobs...what has the world come to?
Great pics, Sam. Oh, I think I hampered your vintage sports car tutorial- it is a 100/4, which sounds like 104 but that's more like a thermometer reading in Phoenix
Technically, it is a Healey One Hundred, and badged as a "100/4" ie 100 MPH+/ 4 Cylinders. This one has the 100M LeMans kit (ram air, big carbs on alloy intakes, big cam, "high" compression 8.6:1 pistons, special exhaust, special distributor), so I think she'll do 107-112 MPH given enough road...if I duck below the windscreen
Sorry we missed you too, Bruce- and sorry I missed Dale with the Cord in the photos- I love that car, been on a few rallies with it and he cruises at 100MPH in that thing! Front wheel drive, pre-selector vacuum shifted trans, very cool pre-war technology.
Bruce, don't skip next week. My folks are coming out for a visit (first ever) and we are going to drag them over there.
Should be interesting.
