Putting some books back on shelves last night (nearly all motorsport related- how strange) thumbed through my 1962 Hippo 'Racing Cars of the World'. Several FJ cars I have come across this year in there- among them the FWD Bond, gorgeous Osca, Volpini & Stanguellini. Most intersting is the BHP quoted- 80 for Bond, 85 for Osca and Volpini, 75 to 80 for the Stanguellini.
Mmmmmmm.... |
Mike, ask Iain, he will tell you that there are Stanguellinis racing today with well over 110 bhp!
