As the builder/owner of the subject of this thread about which so many flattering comments have been made I am slightly reticent about making a contribution!
However I would like to make it clear that it’s creation would not have been possible without the generous contribution made by a few of the real Speedy owners who generously allowed me access to their cars and loaned me parts to copy and the skill of those specialists who did the things I was not clever enough to do.
At Moreton in the Marsh it was parked next to Peter’s Le Mans car and the other real ones and apart from the give away of the starting handle it was hard to identify it as a replica.
The only reason it and the van are being offered for sale is because my increasingly geriatric body is no longer compatible with either of them !
