Sunbeam Tiger Mk 2 Police Car.
Not a very good picture of my dad in 1967 taken by me with my Kodak Instamatic when the car was new.

C'mon then Jon, where's the SP on Robin Reed?
Oops just noticed your post Jim...your dad didn't keep any spares did he? so I can get my wife's car finished and get on with the Barracuda!

Robin Reed, son of the late great Jim Reed, brother of Steve Reed, 2.5 blown Daimler Hemi running on Nitro, heads hand made by Billet Bertie, cant remember the best time and speed at the minute but 221 mph springs to mind, he was running 6's in 1989 ish.
