I believe the car is Larry Varley’s. A beautiful colour that inspired my own ‘BlueHealey’.

I am not suggesting we do that; it was a race car and all the parameters are different, but it did suggest to me that we don’t need to be gentle."

I questioned him and he does it at the start of ewach race weekend to ensure that his air tool is properly adjusted to the correct setting. Yes, it was a race car but 250 lbs and they self tighen as they are driven?
