Model A super sleeper
Those crazy Finns!

The link should be to the project page. The last project is a model A with a 2 liter Cosworth 4 - 250 hp.
There's a vid of it in action and 200 detailed pictures of the construction -- a lot of suspension work and some serious work to keep it a sleeper (until you hit the loud pedal). They even put in a misfire switch so it would idle poorly.
Not something you see every day,

I thought that rang a bell. Videos might be clearer and more story here. Great job on that car.

Strangely enough, I was in the process of checking and chucking my old car mags when I found the original article -- never thought to check their website for the story.
Thanks,
