1962 Renault Dauphine Hill Climb Special:

This is a 1962 Renault Dauphine built by Ross and some other Renault enthusiasts. The original 850cc engine and 3 speed gearbox has been discarded and is now running a 1600 R17 Gordini motor mated to a modified Renault 4 speed gearbox. All up without the driver the car weighs 660kgs. Just about every part of the car is modified including fiberglass guards from France, three stud Madin wheels (also from France), quick rack steering and a front mount radiator but it still retains the infamous swing axle rear suspension. It makes an ideal hill climb car due to its light weight and good traction.
