Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Alloy wheels, updated Climax FWB with stronger internals and 4DCO Webers giving 140hp. Little used and highly original. Almost a time capsule.

Market commentary

Without a doubt this is one of the most charismatic 50s race cars, a shape that was common enough (at the head of the field) to be emblematic of small displacement racing cars capable of mixing it up with Corvettes and Jags. This very original and gently used Eleven needs attention to be competitive, but none to stop traffic on its open trailer, just as it did in 1957. Not cheap, but a good value.
