One hell of an engine.

from 5 miles away

Their is a guy called john dodd not far from me in epsom who's father fitted one of those in a special he built some years back,not sure if its still running but i have a couple of pics that i'll post up if i can get them scanned.

Also i'm popping down to the brooklands museum at weybrifge tuesday to have a look at there Hurricane project,they have just fitted the merlin engine but are short of the headers 3 a side.
I'd tell the old boys to check out ebay but i'm not sure they know what a pc is yet.LOL

I saw a crowd so i just had to look

I believe this fits in a book chassis if you move one of the engine bay tubes by about....... what was it now............


About 6 feet, I think

It made an awsome sound,we caught the car while it was cooling off.

Popped in to see how the merlin was gettting on.

Its not much different to a locost at the front!!!!! Just has wings instead of a rear diff.

Interesting idea for a hard top.............
