As a fan of Vincent motorcycles, thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard that anyone had built a Vincent-powered automobile. Nice photos!

Excellent shot ... thanks for adding it. While I have no experience with the Vincent, I do have a '52 Indian & a '46 Harley, so I love the old bikes. That looks like it was a quick ride back in the day. Appreciate you taking the time to add the photo. Thanks. Frank

This car with driver and fuel was under 1000 lb.
'Twas quick.

That reminds me of the midget auto racing my dad took me to in 1950 at Soldiers Field Chicago. Of course it looked nothing like today down there. Open wheel racing was very exciting back then!

Hi,
Photographing a polished mirror finish is always difficult - everything appears in the reflected auto body. And it makes it even more impressive! Congrats for sharing some great pics.
