Very Nice Mr Scrap ;D Have you got the Carb and its little water heated manifold ? and the cast Inlet Pipes ? Looks like inlet bits are there. Water heated fannymold eh? That sounds like clever stuff. I don't know what's there as Nethers went up to collect it all at the weekend so I've not seen any of it yet. Carb could be interesting... We missed out on three of them a few days ago, but I'll contact the winner of that auction to see if he'll sell us one! cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4583574497Otherwise, something'll turn up...

Nick, there was a maroon K-reg minter on eBay a few months back. We'd known about that yellow 'un for years. It just sat in a garage near us. Nethers knocked on the door and the guy just told him to take it away. It had 32k miles on it at the time. Nice.

Great idea for a great car. Always overshadowed by the 4. I think it would neat in the gordini blue too. I look forward to how this baby turns out....

Thats the Carb, and the MAnifold its sitting on has a water jacket in it. You do need that, they don't run very well with the water pipes disconected as the fuel doesnt seem to atomise properly. You could always run the weber off the later Turbo in a Blow through system...... you could run a nice big intercooler then ;D HTH Dom
