A car from my boyhood. In 1954 Stirling Moss won the Alpine Rally in a modified one of these. My favourite car as a lad & i vowed to own one.
Averaged 120mph over the flying kilometer back in 1954 so quick back then.
It could be bought as a convertible.
Think it was badged an Alpine after that victory its nearly 60 years back so memory a bit off maybe.
