Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 1,450cc Coventry Climax, 4 speed transaxle, white painted 8 spoke alloy wheels, dual mirrors. Originally owned and raced by Bill Boye in the US from 1956 1962, then stored until the early 80s when it was restored to like new condition. A particularly attractive car that is eligible for, and competitive in, a number of events.

Market commentary

It will need a thorough but straightforward re commissioning but when its completed this will be an immediately competitive entry. Think about towing it behind a Chevy Nomad on an open trailer.
