A lot of people might find this one surprising; My Dad has a very late ('59) Lotus VI. It's an extremely light car, before the engine & running gear had been installed we could quite easily pick it up and move it around. He even took it for frame repairs on the roofrack of his VW Derby. It was fast in its day but not by modern standards, it barely keeps up with modern traffic. The engine is the 1930's designed 1172cc Ford sidevalve '10hp' with a few period tweaks, (36bhp by modern rating). It should be tight enough as he did a meticulous rebuild. It's not a slab-fronted brick; it was as slippery as they could make it in the day, even being fitted with the more streamlined Lotus 7 nosecone from new, and he usually runs it with racing screens only. Yet the best he can hope for on a run is 25mpg? Summer idyll by Chris, on Flickr

I know that the years don't match up, but I really think Jag should have put a V12 in this. Has anyone done it? Yes, I believe at least 2 enthusiasts have installed early V12's. At one point Lyons considered producing a Daimler version of the Mk X and installed one of the 4½ litre Edward Turner designed V8 hemi lumps for testing. Apparently this car buzzed around the MIRA track all day happily at speeds in excess of 130mph at the hands of anyone who fancied a go. The V8 was rated at 220bhp whereas the V12, (as installed in the XJ12 s1), was rated at 253 bhp so that would probably have given this fat-bottomed gal 140mph.

The FT/LR22 is just the first part of the part number, there'd have been another 2 blocks of digits on the box to identify the particular type.
Probably worth £50.00 - £60.00?

If I knew they were this cheap I would have been looking out for one. 3.2 manual for 1k. Yes. Golden rules for bargain snaffling: Have cash in pocket. Monitor umpteen different sales sites constantly. Be ready & able to travel at the drop of a hat. Have trailer hitched up if necessary!

You've probably found this but just in case you haven't. It has original parts numbers for all components in case you need to swap anything out: www.webcon.co.uk/weber/40dcoe.htm

Sub £1K XJR6 for sale currently. If it's good the engine alone is worth more than the asking price; Break the car and you've got a free AJ16S engine, (and probably a decent profit too)!

Worst case scenario it's a heap of junk - I think you'd get most of your money back or even make a profit by breaking it. Eyes down for the first sub £1½K Boxster! Porsche Boxster. Hamps. £1K [ !! SOLD !! ]2000. 3.2 litre manual. Long MOT, (MOT history worth checking). Needs some work.

Wow. Ok, here's a random question. Assuming one (not me) could afford a car like this, but could only afford one car to run as a daily and noting 24k a year..... How long would a car like this last as a daily driver, could it even be used as a daily driver? I don't think anyone, who wasn't certifiable, would consider this as a daily driver. This would be a rare posing-day-out and rare track-day car probably seeing 10 to 20 days use a year on specialist insurance. The garage at the bottom of the street isn't going to be up to the maintenance either!* If you live out in the sticks and your nearest takeaway doesn't deliver at least you should get your pizza back home while it was still warm. *Postcode dependent.

Next, I was given this in a box of other stuff by a neighbour clearing out his shed. Any ideas? It looks like it might be some kind of voltmeter, the scale seems to be 110 to 750v. Early electronic skipping rope?
