Equipment
RHD. Special built on a John Tojeiro rolling chassis with four cylinder air cooled opposed 1.5 liter engine designed by Archie Butterworth, MG transmission and fiberglass body by Micron for Major Ronald Clare Clifford Palmer. Palmer couldnt get the engine to run right using Amal carbs and gave up, storing it for some three decades. Discovered in the 80s, it was acquired by David Wenman and eventually restored and got running with help from Archie Butterworth using Porsche type Solex downdraft carbs. Little used since and in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition backed up by lots of documentation, notes and correspondence.
Market commentary
This is a great story, as well as a good (if somewhat odd) looking car in very nice condition. Its probably not going to make a big impression in competition even though the AJB engines are capable of over 100hp (with severely limited life) but it will make a great impression at any historic race and spark innumerable conversations. For all of that it is a sound value.
