The perfect car to impress members of the golf club

[Tony Griffiths]

Actually, it was two in-line supercharged twin-cam engines giving a corrected 145 b.h.p. - but don't tell Lord Herbert.... (I've Photoshopped out the bonnet bulges just in case)

That would give it Porsche like performance! I don't think I would like to be anywhere near a Ruby saloon capable of 130mph plus. Perhaps not even in the same county!

One thing is certain David, the road-holding would have been far worse than any rear-engined Porsche!

Exactly! And we haven't mentioned the brakes.......

Brakes? What brakes? You know that the Skoda Superb and Rolls have an unbrella in each the front door - well, the straight Eight Ruby beat them by decades and had them as well - but not for shower protection, but for use as air brakes....
