It does look like an A-Series engine Frank, but listed as 2.3 litres?? Looks like a Lagonda/Bentley replica, not sure how well it'd go... slowly I'd say!

Is there enough space in there for a decent V8 I wonder...

 

[2b1ask1]

MG based kit car possibly, that would give you the Smiths dials to... I wouldn't beat anyones door down for it!

 

[2b1ask1]

Sometimes the past is the past for a good reason... Actually thinking about it the leafs on the front and what looks like drums, it could be daimler based?

Perhaps a Jag 4.2 straight 6 would be a better bet, it would sound right; old and rattly. Could be an amusing project for those long winter evenings.

I agree, that really would look right...

BTW that engine is/certainly looks like a Ford 2.3 V6 out of a Cortina Mk IV. A gutless pig-iron boat anchor.

Does it have Skyhook?

Hi Loz,

There was I think a vintage Bentley kit car that was based on a Sherpa van of all things. I remember being camped near the owner of one at Le Mans a few years ago.

Sacrilege! That is like basing a Ferrari copy on something like, lets say, an MR2. Nobody would be that stupid, surely.

You mean like this Benny?


Or this? (although it's harder to tell the two apart, one is a real 360 & the other is a MK3 MR2!)


Then there are companies who will make you a Ferrari-esque copy from a Peugeot 406 coupe of all things! Front wheel drive, diesel maybe?!

I bet it sounds really realistic. Straight 4 V Italian V8. Why would you bother?

 

[Maser Sod]

How about a fakey Veyron?

[dem maser]

that ferrari is tought to get the fake....im saying the one on left is real......its got the more expensive plates

 

[BennyD]

I'd rather lick sh!t off a thistle than drive that thing.

 

[dem maser]

you dont like it then benny

 

[BennyD]

No mate, not even a little bit. It's like wearing a fake R0lex, you lose all credibility when you get found out. And you will get found out very easily in that thing as fully loaded milk floats blow your doors off.
