Under the hood lies a 1960cc Coventry Climax engine, flexing its muscle with an impressive 190 horsepower.

In 2021, the car received a special invitation to partake in the Sir Stirling Moss tribute at the Goodwood Revival event, a testament to its historical significance and connection to the legendary driver. The current owner felt deeply honored to contribute to the celebration of Sir Stirling Moss's enduring impact on motorsports.
