Lovely cars, handle quite well for a oldie and with a pre X/Flow on 40's should go quite well too seeing as they weigh nothing.Nearly as pretty as a EB Debonaire IMO

That's quite pretty, their earlier efforts were errr, aesthetically challenged

 

Al the best people have late '50s fibreglass cars built by long-gone factories http://autoshite.commlm/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5228&
