Post by: Carnut on June 24, 2019, 06:01:16 PM: It is British but I don't think it was actually meant to be a one-off, though I doubt if many more than 1 were ever made!

Post by: nicanary on May 21, 2024, 09:06:54 AM: I have found the original advert for this car - in the same issue of the magazine was another advert for Whittet Engineering who were agents for Wade superchargers . Their premises were in the same town of Lightwater.
