roadmap should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I cannot tell. Its a WO , it might be original and you have to ignore the mascot and cannot see a rad badge, as they mean nothing if its a rebuilt car anyway. It could be any of them. It looks quite a high line and doesnt look to long so could be a speed 6 but there again if its a special, who knows.

The 3, 4.5, 6 and 8 litre cars did suffer from unimaginative bodywork design in the latter years with exceptions but the 8 litre folly and the final pedestrian 4 litre on the huge 8 litre chassis finally killed them off.

The UK car manufacturers forgot the one cardinal rule in the business that the only constant factor in the car business is that it changes and if you dont change then you dont survive.

Thats why today we have foreign owned cars being manufactured in the UK. Ironically a lot designed by British designers. A little known fact is though that we export more cars today then we ever did.
