Miss Canada IV

I got a chance to see it at Grace and Speed in Gravenhurst. The guy at the museum told me that they found it in a field. I think he told me that the engine serial # is only 4 digits from the original.

I'v seen thing thing before on the net. Yeah she is badazz and also a work of art. I'm glad she was not lost to time and brought back to her former glory.
 
the motor is a 37 litre displacement v12 Rolls Royce. Miss Canada IV is a stretched version of III

There is a whole story of where this boat was in a museum in Ingersol Onatrio and a guy with a load of money has arranged to have it restored to its original state.


check out this vid someone shot during one of it test runs.

Sadly it has been a challenge to get it running and keep it running (pretty much like it was way back when also)

This topic is quite close to me as I grew up with Harold Wilson's grandson and heard many stories of his racing days.

It is a great part of Canadian and Muskoka history.
