Yes, sort of,..it has (obviously), a Climax 4 cylinder engine, it's sort of long and rather Skinny really and Honestly,..sitting in it, you'd have to say it Would be Rather Scary at High Speed !!!,..lol

It Needs a LOT of Work at My first Quick inspection !! The steering wheel, is Very Thin and at an Extremely Odd angle and the Seat as it Is, could Break your Back,..feels Like there is a Chassis Rail running across in the Middle of your Spine !!! :o :o

Plus it's Covered in Nullaboor dust, even though it was in a Special Car carrier.
It May have been a relative bargain to Purchase, but to Restore,..OR to get it to racing standard as I think he Wants to,..will cost a 'Bomb' I reckon !!!

I was Never that Enamoured with these cars, Or for Many cars Of that Era,..I'd prefer a 1927 Salmson or Amilcar !!!,..then I could 'Hoon' around France pretending to be Mr Hulot !!!,.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mind you,..Stirling's desmodromic Osca is Real Cute !!! I reckon a Ginetta would be a Blast !!

I guess in that Bygone era,..I have somewhat eclectic tastes,..lol
