Lenham GT and Lotus Talbot Sunbeam on the rollers

Today we had two cars on the rollers. The Lenham GT David Stubbings was in for a pre-season tune up as his first race with the HRDC is Easter Monday at Castle Combe. We also had a lovely Lotus Talbot Sunbeam rally car brought in by Ben Harris of B&M Motors. The Sunbeam managed a very healthy 138bhp at the wheels.

MGB GT on the rollers

Mark Gessey from Horam Classic Restorations brought this MGB GT down for a rolling road setup. The car was finished 1 year ago and now that the engine has been run in it can be properly setup on the rollers. A fresh set of needles expertly filed by Graham found an extra 12bhp at the wheels.

Volvo PV544 on the rolling road

Richard Conway brought his lovely PV544 down for a rolling road setup. Richard’s PV has a nice patina and was previously owned by a Swedish rally driver. Graham found that the twin weber carbs had a couple of odd jets which were swiftly replaced. The engine is running much better now ready for a couple of track days.
