Most used the 1.7 litre engine, with a Connaught dry sump system and other modifications that increased the 70 bhp anywhere from 100 to 140 bhp. Sometimes a mechanical fuel injection system was fitted or quad-Amal 10TT carburetors in a McGuffin box.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the bodies that Connaught made were not much to look at, and three cars known as the L3\/SR used an elegant aluminum cycle fender body by Abbots of Farnham.<\/p>\n<p>Our feature car, chassis 7110, was initially shipped to the US and first raced at the 1951 Watkins Glen Grand Prix. It also raced at the 1952 Hayground races at Bridgehampton. Decades later it was found in a state of disrepair and underwent an extensive restoration by the Creative Workshop in Ft.
