Then you might shudder to have seen Rod Dore's stock car with its Ferrari Superamerica gearbox, or the Armstrong Siddley bonnet/rad of Aubrey Leighton, or the three Railton straight-8's (of the total 1500 production) that were raced as stock cars in the fifties, along with some old Rolls and Bentleys. "It's only a car and an engine" is what those old racers used to say. Sorry for my over-large text on previous postings.
When I left school, near Ipswich, in 1963, I was offered a Straight 8 Railton for £10 by a man who lived in Pin Mill.
