We had few of these in the family. All of them have the same problem: Water leaks in the leg area while raining!
@skatingspaceman6 ай бұрын
Oh dear, not heard of that before. They are all highly polished classics now so I suppose no one takes them out if it’s raining anymore. 😅

Absolutely brilliant driving by Bernard Unett, in a well prepared Hillman Hunter GLS. He flew past virtually everything in the race!!! Great to hear the motor on full song and to see his confidence in a great car.
@callimero20102 жыл бұрын
It looks so easy,so he is a really good driver.Driving these cars with their small tyres, is a little bit more pretensious,at that speed.

Imagine all those push rods and cam followers moving up and down rocking the valve rockers generating 110BHP, 10.2:1 compression ratio twin webbers, I remember how Bernard Unett was my hero driver at the time winning one race after another beating cars with higher Cc engines, in Brands hatch race circuit . He was at the time like what is now Lewis Hamilton.

Impressive for a slow revving long stroke motor. My first car in Australia was a Hillman Hunter fitted with a twin carb alloy headed motor. I wouldn't have dared going anywhere near 6,000 revs.

I had been a 3a Rapier tweaked a bit, It,s problem was weight,the arrow range was better, having got married I wanted a sceptre estate ,or to build pne my self,I ended up building a 1600e estate ( defector) but I allways a Rootes man at heart. Also really wanted to build a finless Rapier with the very last front face lift and 13inch wheels, in fact I would still like to do that but those early rear wings must be impossiable to obtain?
