The sight of a Cavalier driving round the outside of a DB4 must have been quite mortifying, but here you are all those years later, still enthusiastic about old machinery.There was that period after WW2 when every new model was worse than the previous one, especially when compared to the earlier well engineered limited production model. Suddenly, technology and engineering science developed to create what we have to day, small size mass production cars with extraordinary performance.
The Peugeot can be chipped. I know a guy who has a real penchant for it, but the engine is a bit fragile, particularly fairly high mileage examples. Still, the Pom is not exactly an endurance competition. Just imagine, win the Pom, first stop the scrap yard in Towcester and arrange a lift home with the Trophy.
