Got quite a collection of toy cars some are mine from when I was a kid & some I've purchased over the years, I have a model of virtually every car I've owned from the Austin A40 to the RRS , been after an Omega for ages but the ones on offer were in poor condition or good but at a ridiculous price, saw a Mirrormax model on the bay brand new & boxed for £5.00 or best offer + postage offered £3.33 received a counteroffer of £4.00 agreed at £3.65 . Okay it's in Police livery but mint & boxed 😄

My friend's Godfather gave him a box labelled 'Not to be opened until your 21st Birthday!' for his christening present.
When he got to 21 and opened the box, he found 20 Corgi model cars and vans from the 1960's all brand new in their boxes. As far as I know he still has them 30 years on and has never taken any of the cars out of their boxes. 8)

I have several mint & boxed Corgi & Dinky cars + various other toy collectables from the sixties, Grandkids are not the slightest bit interested in them so quite a few will be going to auction over the next few months, if they bring what has been estimated I will be pleased.

I've seen m miles per hour on several Mini 1000s. And 145 on the clock of a 2.0l Capri, but that was downhill between J8 & 7 on the M25 in the small hours. From the revs and the gearing it actually works out to 120, which is believable.

I doubt it weighs much more than 750KG, so it should go pretty well with this combination.
How much power does it make?

No more than about 90hp from that spec. Get the cam/compression right, add mapped ignition and you've a nice street engine
