[Fot] Interesting little car

[Brad Eells]

Hey Amici,

That's a great group on Facebook for Spitfire racers...join up if you
haven't already.

What a cool car...and fit for a Kastner Cup appearance. How great would it
be to have a 1960 Autosport Formula Junior car on the grid for Kastner Cup!

Cheers,

*1965 Triumph TR4A IRS...for the road!*
