make sure the 3.2 manual goes to a good home!
Little chance of that, given its location :-\

A crate of beer and a bag of sausages says the OPs next question is diff related ::)

Thanks Al , reminded me to call in the butchers for some sausages  :P ;D

A guy who has toured with us kit car types has a series 1 Lotus 7 with a Coventry Climax engine. 1098CC and revs like an angry wasp. :-*

Actually, when you think of all the gutless pushrod engines that were the norm when it was designed, it was well ahead of its' time.

I knew a bloke in N.I. who had a very nice Davrian kit car.It had a no expense spared full race 1140 Imp engine,including fuel injection,which wasn't that common in the 70,s. It was a little flying machine.Was used mainly for competition purposes and often embarrassed much bigger engine cars.
He used to buy his rear tyres (slicks)from the formula Atlantic drivers,as they were the same size as their front tyres. When they had lost a few tenths from their lap times due to wear,he would have them and use them for a few more meetings.

P.S. We have no idea exactly where the OP is located,so also have no idea how available LPG is to him. ;)
