Single seater

[Malcolm Parker]

Mrs Bacfire is a wonderful special, built using mostly Austin 7 parts with a huge V twin engine that was designed for leading cyclists around the velodromes in France.  The beauty of it is that the majority of the Austin 7 parts used were knackered and most of us would have taken them to the tip.  As a Yorkshireman I admire this philosophy.
I think something similar with a lusty Model A engine would be a bit too hairy for me.
A special built from truly redundant components scores much more highly in my book than one made by vandalising a restorable or complete car.
