One of the very first cars, Chassis 27-SA322 would initially have been fitted with a British Anzani twin-cylinder 322 cc two-stroke engine producing 15 bhp and mounted transversely, driving the front wheels via a chain and three-speed gearbox. Subsequently upgraded to the larger 328cc Excelsior engine from an SE328. Many years spent in Microcar museum and very few miles covered since restoration. In 1956. Stirling Moss launched the SA322 at Goodwood and last year this car went back and created lots of attention. Pictures of the car in bare glass fibre.
