Like others I have seen and heard the 158/9 close up and as a lad I was amazed at the power that the car had and its classic lines of what kids then thought of as real race cars. The sound of the straight 8 is awesome and so was its great thirst. Nice link which will get passed along again.

Yes Ant has had a few good shows, I am enjoying the current one.
For a reality TV show it seems more real than some - but maybe I am being taken in again.

That is so cool. I’d love to do it.
Ant’s car from what I’ve just watched has a MG TD chassis + Alfa Spider Donor.
The Alfa engine is much more authentic.
