The car was purchased in November 2007 and has since undergone a full body off re-build. The car is not yet finished but has been much improved with rack & pinion power steering, 5 speed Jaguar gearbox, 2" carburettors, "C" Type head, bucket seats and much improved dash instrumentation. All the work is in the hands of John May the renowned restorer and who was mainly responsible for the Dawes 120 FHC cars. Expected completion Spring 2010.
