Nice looking car,but a bit too big and heavy imo.The Strombergs were standard fitment - crap imo,best to sling them in the bin and stick a pair of twin 48 dellortos or webers on. :y

But a zillion times better than the SU's......and they held thier tune unlike SU's!

Sadly, they fell out of favour as the SU's had more bits available for them
