From the Hillclimb again.

This is a replica of a 1920s Lea-Francis racing car, built in the 60s in Australia. This car has been raced all over the world, including Silverstone in the UK. It’s powered by a correct 1496cc Meadows 4ED engine which is enough to push this 600kg car to 195km/h. It’s a very fine example of yester-tech with friction shock-absorbers, cantilever leaf springs on the back and cable-operated drum brakes all around.
