Actually Lex Davison's earlier-model HWM (with Jaguar engine)

I have looked at this photo for the past 6 months ,debated it with Allan D also Dave S..The first yr.54 was the only one I missed .Davidson was No.77,normally,, the motor looks nothing like a Jag and Dave says an Alta???

I see the Sprague Anglia is a pushrod - wasn't it a twin cam in earlier days?

[Grant Sprague]

Yes , It was apparantly when Dave Simpson owned it, Now when Gary bought the T/Cam Escort to do the NZ saloon champion ship Ernie slotted the T/cam into the Anglia & tried it only to find out it was slower, mind you it was never highly developed. When we ran two Anglias in pre 65 , a few years ago , a few tried to head us off in T/Cam cortinas only to find out they spent a lot of $$$$ to get no where near our light weight well tuned little cars same thing was repeating history.......

After talking to Allan Freeman{90yrs.}the front opening says its Davisons ,,only the bulge on the side{ carbs,}looks wrong.
