Not a true vintage but bits of it are. Actually all of the car was 1930's except for a couple of parts - the central section of the chassis was 1950's construction - the original BSA front and rear suspension was attached the the chassis rails / tubes.
Lyle Chambers BSA Special - the Ford 8/10 powered one.
The BSA Special is currently in a workshop in Auckland undergoing a slow restoration to its 1950's guise.
Was originally an early 1930's Four Wheel, Front Wheel Drive BSA Scout Saloon with a 980cc 4 cylinder BSA Engine. The restoration will use the current Ford 1172cc Side Valve Motor from the early 1950's.
Current owner Clive Butler purchased the vehicle from Lyle around 25 years ago [ at the " Turn of the Century " ].
