A lovely well developed car with superb attention to detail. I hope who ever has it now contunues to use it as intended?

Yo!
Thought of you both today, must ring you and arrange a coffee, maybe a meet-up at Attingham?
Yes, Reg's car, what a beauty it was too, he told me he was heart broken but it went to a very good home, doubt it will see a hill again.
A very very long time ago now, but this was my image of that car when I first saw it:

Is that Quad Al, I remember an article in Hod Rod magazine about that whilst at school mid 1960's.

It is. Fabulous idea for a car which never got finished and run IIRC.

I love gearsets, but they aren't in the right order!
