RE: MG L-Type Special 1933 at Vernasca Silver Flag

in #photography6 years ago

Hi @mariusfebruary, it is awesome to read that it was changed to a racecar and then it has "only" over 100 hp. But considering that it is from around 1933, it is a hell of a job. I think steering and breaking has no real support from any other systems. What was the max speed you achieved with the car? Did you have issues driving the tour?

Sort:  

With the current gears (ideal for hill climbs) I can go at max 130 km/h but this feels crazy. The gearbox is a Wilson preselector that is fantastic to drive https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preselector_gearbox. The car handles great in turns.

Haha I can imagine. If you shift do you use between gas?
I restaurated an old Vespa V50 (1967) this year. Now it drives perfect and it feels awesome to drive a historic vehicle :)

Would be a dream to test drive such a car once :)
