Engine Punk

That Austin radiator may suggest motoring for the masses but this is motor car is a cut above AND came before the Austin 7 Whilst awaiting our turn at Rodney's Revenge on the 2012 Land's End Trial, your brave boys in the Candidi Provacatore team car caught up with this lovely old Austin 20 sports car. I'd seen it ascend Blue Hills 2 in the 2011 event and admired it then. This time I managed to get a better look. Step aboard and go trialling What I like about this car is that it shows what can be done by stripping down a heavy old vintage saloon and fitting it with a much lighter body. A ratty old Austin 20 saloon isn't that valuable and - although they do have their followers - to restore one to pristine condition would take a lot of time and money. There are plenty of very smart ones about, too. We were pumping up tyres at the time so I forgot to ask what mods had been done but it probably doesn't stop at the twin SUs I always thought of Austin...
