[Vintage-race] CANADA CLASS SPECIAL FOR SALE

[Mike Rosen]

*FOR SALE: 1958 V.A.Y. Canada Class Special.*
*Your chance to own a piece of Canadian racing history! *One of only 
three original Canada Class cars still racing. 1958/59 Canada Class 
Champion with 24 class wins.

Huge file of documentation, articles, photos including race results in 
1959 Vol.1 #1 Canada Track & Traffic. Photos of the car under 
construction in 1958, and at the track throughout the years.

This is a car for the racer who really appreciates the ideals of Vintage 
Racing i.e. it's not the fastest car around but it is competitive with 
some Sprites and other small-bore cars. It's easy to drive, handles 
beautifully and on a really good day (for the car and the driver) has 
gone through corners One and Two at Mosport without lifting. It's a 
perfect car for the Vintage Racing beginner ...  it's a joy to drive -- 
or for someone who wants to take a step back to an earlier period of 
Vintage Racing. Either way, it's distinctive looking, memorable and has 
just enough quirks to remind you what building and racing Specials was 
like in the late '50s

Read BS Levy's article from Vintage Motorsport (one of the attachments 
I'll send) to get an idea of what it's like to drive.
