In the Mid 80's I had a '66 Ford Fairlane GT. It had a pretty hot 390 ford that my DAD built for me.

It would lift the front wheels off the ground on the rare times it would get traction. I had it over 140mph on PCH along bolsa chica beach...with every seat filled. The car flew. I got my ass handed to me by a R5 in traffic it was soo fricken small it could stitch threw traffic where my big ass fairlane wouldn't fit

Nope. It looks like a Brough Superior. Here is a Vincent:

[QUOTE=Jeff Higgins;4607272]Nope. It looks like a Brough Superior.

The engines in the Morgan and the Brough were built by JAP - JA Prestwich.

Some of the SS80s also used Matchless engines.

Notice that it's marking it's territory, in true British fashion.

Obligatory pic...

This CV2 is owned by the same guy with the other micro car I took photos of a few weeks ago. This is the largest car in his collection, fixes up two or three a winter. Said micro cars are quicker to restore than larger cars, just less car to work over. He will be bringing four cars to the Jackson Road cruise, more of a parking lot event from what I understand. http://www.JRCruise.org May 16th.



It's air cooled, engine in the front, I think he said 18 hp.
