Class 'B' cars used the same engines as Formula Ford single seaters, which were
"blue printed" 1600cc Ford Kent engines. No modifications were allowed to these engines other than a careful rebuild. The single down draught
carburettor can be seen sticking up from the engine. Haggisspeed cars, built by Bob Le Saur - Haggis to his friends, are now considered to be
a rare and much sought after.
