I would call it a Model A Speedster because it's soul is still pure Model A and that's what it says to me.

Over here, there is a rule followed by many clubs of all kinds. The car has to have 5 of the 7 major components from the nominated model and the other 2 must be period. The 7 major components are: Front end (Axle), Rear end, Chassis, motor, gearbox, radiator and steering column. It is interesting to note the the body does not feature.
