The initial SE4 was powered by a 2. 6-litre straight-six from the Ford Zephyr/ Zodiac and to keep costs down, many components were off-the-shelf items. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with optional Laycock overdrive. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front with a live axle, coil springs and a modified Watts linkage at the rear. Steering was by rack and pinion and braking by Girling discs/ drums. The introduction of the SE4A/ B saw utilisation of V6 power, with a 3-litre Ford Essex unit fitted.Previously one of just 17 out of over 130 entrants to finish the infamous Inca Trail rally, this example has been extensively prepared for historic rallying.
