1951 Citroen Light 15 V8:

This 1951 Citroen Light 15, was a standard road car, rebuilt and fabricated by Peter. He designed and re-powered it with a 351 Windsor V8 engine and it has gone from no power to plenty. He changed it from manual to auto and from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive, with independent suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes. Peter hand-fabricated the floor, mud guards, running boards, bonnet, boot, grill and pretty much everything. He says it is exciting to drive.
