BOA 225, recollections of the building and running a 750 in the ‘60’s

 

Colin Usher has sent a recollection of how he built and used his SPEEDEX 750 in the early ‘60’s. His father worked at the Austin Longbridge works. Colin is still into this type of car, see his own website address at the end where he is building a Robin Hood, a Lotus 7 type derivative. Thanks Colin!
