Looking forward to this๐
Wonder how it would look if you dropped the body down over the frame like the Don Williams Coupe, but managed to fit the fenders. That way the frame rails would disappear between the body and runners if that makes any sense?

where abouts in the uk is the axle if it is near me i could always collect it for you . and have it collected from me Thanks for the offer, but unless you can transform the item into a commercial shipment somehow I think weโll have the same issue I am afraid.

As I understand it there won't be any VAT documentation for a secondhand part, so you would pay Norweigen VAT on the full price, I think all you need is a simple declaration form as you do for posting parcels abroad, I imagine your problem is the people who move something large are only set up for commercial shipments and the ones who specialise in personal shipments don't do anything this large. That is correct. The companies that deal with personal shipments do not handle large items like a rear axle and the companies that do only do commercial stuff. So weโre kind of stuck inbetween ๐

Need a bit of advice to help my father. He has found a rare rear axle for a Standard 10 in the UK that he wants shipped to Norway. However most shippers will not touch it as the seller is a private individual and can not issue an VAT invoice. He actually had the axle picked up, but the shipper returned it to the seller as they stated the pick up was a mistake on their part as it wasn't accompanied by a VAT invoice ๐
Anyone had large car parts exported to a private individual outside UK? How did you in this case do it?

We have just invested in 3D scanning equipment - literally arrived today. We have to learn how to use it first but it is a mobile unit. Where is the engine situated in the UK? I will ask Whereabouts are you based? I might be able to track down a block close to where you are based.

That makes sense. Similar to the Dolly Sprint and their angled head studs. Do people make thicker headgaskets for them? From what I've learnt that's the main way of adjusting an over-skimmed head on Dollies. Thicker head gaskets are available or you could do as I will have to do due to the large bore in my engine; Make them from copper ๐๐

I am considering having an engine block 3d scanned in the UK. Any suggestions on who might be the correct company to reach out to? I seem to recall a member on this forum had a company doing this? Most likely will have to go to the blocks owner to scan it.

Thanks all, much appreciated.
I just bought a pair of 36IDF 44/45s which are supposed to be from an Alfa 33. Will see what their specs are when they arrive ๐

I am trying to find a guide to where the different versions of Weber carburettors were fitted originally and what set up they were supplied with. Specifically I am looking at the different Weber IDF 36 versions. Anyone have or know where to find this type of info?

Agree on the dash. I would have gone more stock, but get the functionality aspect as he is going to use it in competition so function trumfs looks I guess.

Russ and Andrew Carpenter really known these engine. Andrew has been working on a fuel injection system for the Daimler V8. Donโt know how far he has gotten. Robin Read and his engineer Bertie is another pair of chaps that also know how to push the limits of the Daimler V8. Last endavour is an aluminium billet block ๐ณ๐
As Goldnrust says above these engines really come alive above 2500rpm. I pull 6500rpm and above on almost every drive in my TVR ๐

Oh good another event I want to go to that clashes with RR Gathering this year, stupid September date. If my dad, by some chance, donโt want to go Iโll keep quiet to my SWMBO and just turn right before Calais and hope there are tickets for the gathering at the gates ๐๐

We did a stop off on the way in Villandry at lโhotel de ville which broke up the trip down nicely , when there we stay in a Gite in Verteillac which is about 20 mins from Angouleme , itโs a great road in โฆ Parking in Angouleme is easy , there is a small shopping mall with underground parking , itโs mostly empty and v cheap but spacious and safe . Weโre booking the tribune Wilson stand this year .. I am considering driving the TVR T350 down so would like to have secure parking. I've booked a refundable apartment hotel in the city centre. Would you advice living outside the city centre during our stay?
