Touring spec Ruddspeed B18 122S Amazon
Hi, I have a time warp Ruddspeed B18 122S Amazon first purchased in June 1964 from Rudds of Worthing & modified to fast road, or then described as 'touring spec' from new. I purchased it in October 2007, the car only covering 24k miles at that time. I am effectively the third owner. I have the purchase invoice & documents showing what modifications were available from Rudds at the time, including prices. The original owner of this car went for the mid range 10:1 compression head on twin SU H6's carburettors, 'touring' cam, aluminium coated free flow exhaust manifold, twin exhaust, Koni adjustable shocks, lower springs & wire wheels. (The base car price was £1171. 8S. 9d. And the Ruddspeed modifications £147.0.0!)
The car has now covered approximately 30k miles from new. I am happy to supply reference material if anybody is attempting to restore a Ruddspeed car to original specification
