No, 948cc anymore. It takes a full race 1275 motor to run away from a field of cars like that.

I guessed as much but wasn't sure as some vintage race bodies are stricter than others. It was a really exciting drive and I have a bunch of 356-owning friends I'll have to share it with.

I would always choose a Sprite over a Porsche everyday and thrice on Sundays.

Bugeye beats Bathtub! Yay!
(more seriously: congratulations to everyone in the video. And I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it brought home how little I understand about racing). Doug

I have yet to race at RA--awesome track.
Great driving on both their parts.
Interesting that the Sprite has a useable first gear--I assume he is running a dog box and I wonder what is his diff ratio?
