1949 Š 1102 SP. The vehicle was exported to Canada in 1950. In the mid-1950s, Tom Spouse purchased the car and converted it into an aluminum supercar. Tom Spouse decided to build a competitive race car to fit into the 1100 cc class. He completed the conversion in 1955 and in 1956 he competed in the Little Silverstone Race, where he finished second in his class. Tom Spouse raced this car at the Abbotsford Airport circuit. Two downdraft SUV carburetors improved performance. The intake and flange are still on the car. The Chevrolet cam was designed by R. Shadbold, and thanks to him, the car ran very well.
