Something Missing?

At the end of 1969 George Gillets 'George's Draggin' Austin Ruby came up for sale, after George had wrecked the straight-six 3.4 litre Jaguar motor when the throttle had stuck open. The thought of having a near complete car that would be much more competitive than their current project appealed to Chris & John. Not having the cash available the Brothers acquired some finance and travelled down to Somerset to purchase the car.

On getting it home the rebuild began. The pistons and bearings had suffered the most and they described the operation as being like completing an Airfix kit without the instructions. The motor, blower and clutch were all completely stripped and rebuilt. A new paintjob was applied and the car was out on the track for the Easter 1970 meet at Santa Pod.
