Is it a Lea Francis ???

It`s the St John Horsfall Aston Martin - a very valuable and precious car indeed. Great competition history, thoroughbred engineering, hugely revered, reliable, well-built, 2 litre, 4 cylinder Speed Model Aston made of metal in the south of England.

So, nothing in common at all...

You guessed the car, but you missed the point...

There is something very common... I'm just waiting for the right answers...

[bridgdav]

If its common to the Sagaris I can understand...

They both need straps to hold the bonnet down....

Is it an Ulster? Or is that something different?

The middle of the wheels, or it's also a two seater

No, this is later than an Ulster. Ulster`s were 1.5 litre whereas this is the later 2 litre (Gordon Sutherland designed). Before the anorak disapppears (!) this is a particularly important car with significant pre and post-war success with St John Horsfall, who remains a hero within Aston circles.

Must confess I don`t know the link to TVR?
