Amazing that the car was rolled, and that there was enough left to restore. The skin is hand hammered aluminum, without much structural strength. The damage to the panels must have been enormous. And where would they have found the replacement glass? I enjoyed the explanation of the double bubble, that not only did it provide helmet clearance, but the crease down the center line between the bubbles provides considerable rigidity to this panel. And that the region of low air pressure right behind the ‘bubbles’ tends to pull air in the direction of the air scoops. I suspect that this affect is ‘small’, but also ‘real’.

0 to 60 in a blistering 17 seconds. Small cars rule.

Driving powerful cars to some significant fraction of their potential on public roads always tempts fate on some level. If you pressed this little coupe to the limit who would care? I wonder what the F/R weight distribution is on these? The turn-in is probably pretty sharp on this car.

And here I thought that pornography was illegal or something. The double bubble has always been on my lottery car list.
