very probably.
it is definitely not a crossflow as the inlet and exhaust manifolds are on the same side of the head

I agree as above, definately not crossflow and probally as said 1500 or 1600cc Cortina engine. But what a brilliant car.

I have the drawings that that chassis came off.......so tempted to do an old style one using new parts

I had a engine out of a lotus 7 many years ago it was a 1340 pre x flow

Saw this too. The Mrs' only comment was 'isn't it small!'

Interesting to see where this whole thing came from. Liked the front number plate too!

Sorry, but I think you will find you are absolutely (that is 100%) wrong.

Also, just because your picture is bigger doesn't make it better. That is the typical american misnomer.

The original seven captured pretty damn well by skydivepaul on his low-res phone is a completely perfect work of art.



All IMVHO of course.
