This car was bought new in Montreal Quebec and according to what we have learned it was for a time use for racing on circuit in Quebec, Ontario and northern New England and New York, these info's where not verified but are rumors and story heard from peoples who knew the originals owners and the car history true those years, so we don't know if the mechanic is all original or not, probably not but everything is for sure as it was built or equivalent.
This should be a very desirable car for any British car collector or somebody who would like to participate in Vintage Racing
