| The Beach Hotel, Frinton-on-Sea, Essex. Frinton 132 Alfa bodies a have simply fitted for 4 seats instead of two.

All the streamlined cars at the track with extra long tails are absolutely impossible on road circuits & that is why we must not have an tail any further back than the rear cross | ||
