  As for Performance, this is one of the very rare 55 Super Speedsters, eligible for the Mille Miglia. Only 16% of Speedsters had had a Super motor, this engine is the special TYPE 528/2 producing 70HP@5000rpm. Originally equipped with a Hirth roller bearing crank, it has been updated with a plain bearing crank, and comes with an original Hirth Roller Crank. Only 141 were made. James Dean had the first 528/2 Super Speedster, white with red, this is 2nd to last 528/2 Super Speedster. All three pieces of the case match, the 40MM Solex carbs were rebuilt by Carb Rescue, re-jetted and installed 2 years ago. Valves were recently adjusted and the compression averages 157psi/cyl.  The front and rear main seals done, along with new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. The steel brake line in tunnel, dual circuit master cylinder, all new wheel cylinders, drums cut, and flexible brake lines have been replaced. King and link pins were done and upgraded to “B” spindles. The 383 Flat top distributor was rebuilt. The car sits on repro 16 rims with AVON Turbosteel radials and comes with a set of 4 date correct SUDRAD wheels. I have driven the car often in the last 3 years and it runs and drives well.
