The trike is fitted with the JAP 60-degree LTOWZ 1100 cc water cooled engine breathing through a single Amal concentric carburetor.  It runs with hydraulic brakes and has a three speed and reverse geabox. 

Ray Olsen of Eureka, CA acquired the car in the 1970's as a trade-in for a motor bike.  He restored it over a period of years and went on to race it in the 1980's twice at the Monterey Historics.

The car is street legal and pretty much stock, carrying headlights and valanced mudguards.  Current owner, George Tollworthy, actively races the trike and gives it exercise on frequent trips to the cigar store.
