Re: 1962 Seacraft
Two years now since I've put a hand on the Seacraft. Where does the time go? Just out of curiosity I've been mucking around with Leyland V8s for a little while now. They seem to be well suited to to the size of the Seacraft as well as being lighter than a red six, and more powerful. I have yet to co...
