My car, 1959 Harris Riviera Four
The Riviera was a rare coach built variant built using the longer nosed Australian market Harris 100 with a custom centre section to make a pillarless coupe body. The rear tailfins were cut down for a more streamlined shape and the front had an inset section either side of the radiator grille to fit driving lamps into the normally empty space.
Engine upgrades consisted of a more aggressive cam, polished inlet and exhaust ports and a larger more free-flowing exhaust.
The Team, the Knightwick owners club
Driver 1:
David Anderson, a 67 year old retired car mechanic who used to work at Knightwick dealerships and whose father owned the Riviera four from new. This very car kick started David’s love of cars as a young boy.
Driver 2
Paul Lawrence, a 36 year old school teacher who really prefers newer faster cars but couldn’t miss the chance of racing a classic car in Sweden.
Driver 3
Elizabeth Garrison, a 45 year old long distance lorry driver. Her experience of driving for 24 hours with little rest will be priceless in this competition
