this weeks issue of Classic Car Weekly has a 2 page article on the HB GT - the car in article is from the Heritage Centre - it was interesting to read the comments on the throttle "take up" and braking system "take up" which the Author was not too impressed with - to quote
There is a fair amount of take up on the throttle before anything happens ........
.... and while there's an almost comical take up before you feel any braking action ......
Not showing Heritage Centre restoration/ maintenance quality in its best light
