In the spring of 1957, after some 163 cars with the Anzani motor had been produced, a switch was made to the 328cc Excelsior twin. This gave a useful increase of 3 horsepower and more importantly, a much better reliability record. The car was named B65, again for its top speed.

It's a Berkeley. Those awful stuck on headlights spoiled what had been a nice-looking nose. Damn headlight height regulation.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Berkeley. The original lights were mounted low and covered with clear plastic bubbles. Neat little car.

ReplyDeletethanks! Wow, I've only seen a Berkeley 2 or 3 times... not a common sight!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a 1957 Berkeley SE328, saw a few of them in LA back then, as I recall it had wicker seats. The headlights on this car were uncommon and may have been a dealer option.
ReplyDeleteI saw one at Hollywood Sports Cars in the early 60s, I think. I took it for a test drive. Getting in was a challenge, and when I drove it out into the street, the brakes didn't work. I should have bought it anyway. Several Bonneville Salt Flats Modified Sports cars use the body.
