Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

One for Richie

The LE50 will be hand built at the Frontline 'Special Works Division' in Abingdon-on-Thames using a highly developed, brand new monocoque chassis and powered by an all-new 215 bhp aluminium twin cam engine weighing a mere 85kg. Combine this with the new aluminium 6-speed manual gearbox, suspension, brakes, cooling system and even the seats, the reduction in weight of these cars is exceptional offering a power to weight ratio of 240 bhp per tonne.

£57 000 (fifty seven THOUSAND pounds!)

In other news, the Brockley Express has just completed 955 miles of North Yorkshire moors. Casualties: a flasher unit.

I love my little car.

I have also found one of the best British B roads. Between Silpho and Troutsdale lies one of the most enjoyable twisty roads on this island.
