I looked up the driver/co-driver's names on the entry list and the car they
are driving appears to be car #40, a 1934 Talbot 95 with a 2.6 litre
six-cylinder engine. I have no idea what kind of SU was installed on this
car, but maybe someone else does. A little better description of the
problem would help in troubleshooting.
