The Clubman was the racing-flavoured Viper offered from 1960, with TT carburettors, a racing magneto, close-ratio gearbox and higher compression. Fibreglass enclosure gave way to polished cases, with rearsets, lowered bars and a steering damper. A tuned Viper made a 24-hour record attempt at Montlhery in 1963, averaging a little over 100 mph.
