Very cool!
do you look at the Von Skip 24 7 auto site - some amazing vehicles on there?

Correct me if I'm completely wrong, but weren't these Alvis models referred to as the "Grey Lady"?
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Nice!
My wife wants me to do something like this - might be a bit harder than building a Westfield though!
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

The grey Lady was a in that year but a TC21 that had a higher compression engine as the petrol got better after the war. It could do 100MPH !
I have documentation, however, that my car had a Grey Lady upgrade.
My saloon will happily do 80 mph .......stopping is an all together different matter. You have to plan your braking well in advance
