Don't know if it's allowed to put this here but it may be of interest to a couple of folk. Not put it on here for sale as I don't think it will interest many, it's a little specialised.
It may pass a few moments away though just taking a look.

Hi, yep, a lot of time. It was worth it though as it's given us a lot of pleasure over the years. Both my kids learnt to drive in it and obviously now have that "feel" for a motor, they know what each individual wheel is doing. The other thing is of course, that great feeling you get when your name is called as overall winner in a big competition and you walk forward to pick up the cup. I'm not ashamed to say, it's a great feeling and your head grows to about twice the size

You couldn't count the hours that have gone into this motor, everything was unexplored ground. We built this while that "rhino Ray" bloke was still raving on about the old cast iron engine being a good conversion (what a to**er he is / was)
To be fair, when this was built I had a factory with machine shop and a fully equiped welding shop (mig, tig, arc, gas, plasma etc) so I did have an advantage over a lot, it aint such a struggle when you have the gear to do the work with and a ramp specially for your motor.

Keep your eyes on it, it may not fetch as much as you think and I'd like it to go somewhere that's going to use it to it's full potential.

Ahh, happy days, all gone now but that's life.
