Mot Expiry: Exempt
This unique motorcar was assembled 20 years ago by Robin Baker as a semi-scale replica of the 1904 Panhard-Levassor World land Speed Record/GP car and used for hillclimbing. Its Edwardian components comprise a Curtiss OX-5 aero engine mounted in a pre-WWI Amilcar chassis - the latter serves as a sub-frame that is in turn mounted in a Peugeot frame. The unit drives through a two-speed chain-drive Peugeot transmission. The axles hails from a 1918 Le Zèbre cyclecar and braking is via the rear wheels only. Since acquiring the machine, the vendor commissioned Tony Bianchi of Personal Plane Services to make it more usable on the public roads. It comes complete with tax and MOT and is apparently 'fast, stable and great fun to drive'.
