Subject: Re: 1935 Rapier in California I do not know very much about Rapiers, from what I see it looks like a very low body (not original, made for racing) mecanically it looks good, much work seems to have been done as suggests the claimed 120kGBP spent. I would call Bishopgray for more information as they are mentioned to have done all the work on this car. They may also know how much has been changed on the car (supercharger?). Search this forum for Bishopgray phone numbers.

Subject: Re: 1935 Rapier in California Fantastic little car! The car passed through our workshop before going to the US. We sorted a few things out and rolling roaded it etc. It goes very well for an 1100cc car! Great condition and for that money I would say it was a fair price! Car "IS" as good as the pictures show! Hope the new owner enjoys using it! Julian
