Ravel Competizione
1971 Post-war
Northfall built bodies for other people's chassis until a customer asked for a car that could be driven to a circuit, raced, and driven home. The Ravel Competizione was the answer: a road-registered coupé with a roll structure built into the body, not bolted on afterwards.
