Great story here.
Desauto Stevens GT
Is a Le Mans prototype car designed and built by Tony Stevens in the UK in 1967, whilst working at Rootes Group Engineering (Chief Engineer).

Rootes were concentrating on their Sunbeam Tiger V8 entry for Le Mans, and his design and plans were declined by the board of directors, so he undertook a home build based upon an aluminium monocoque and powered by two 4-cyl Hillman Imp engines mated together to form a 2.0litre V8.

The car never raced at Le Mans but took part on the race circuit and hill climbs.FB_IMG_1702276617383.jpgFB_IMG_1702276623990.jpg
