7,274 miles since restoration (New gauge installed and accurate to restoration mileage)
Because I prefer to drive my Junior Zagato, I have not put very many miles on the car in the 10+ years I have owned it. In 2006, I had Wes Ingram rebuild the top end. He balanced andinstalled 10.1:1 pistons andnew rings. He also rebuilt the SPICA pump and modified it. The head was redone by Steve Hannifer with 11mm x 10.2 cams as well. The radiator was also completely flushed and serviced. Wes also installed a new Crane XR2000 electronic ignition system and rebuilt and recurved the distributor
