About the same performance as my Nova Sport way back in 1986 but mine was only a 1.3 - maybe the twin 40's helped though 
It was set up at Bill Blydensteins at Shepreth after running-in on the single carb from new - all part of the Vauxhall package.
so after 30 years of development, yours has gained a 0.1 second faster 0-60mph but taken 200cc extra to get it. No substitute for cubic inches eh?
It's still alive in the West Midlands after a second restoration.
And here I am still 'stuck' with a 'Vauxhall' (VXR8) 30 years later...
Is that what they call progress?
That's seriously cool! I love them. It was set up at Bill Blydensteins at Shepreth after running-in on the single carb from new - all part of the Vauxhall package.

I'd love to see it in person if it's ever out
