Pictures of old or rare vehicles

[droopsnoot]

The MT75 has an integral bellhousing that's far too small for the slant four flywheel, or at least the one I had did. I bought it thinking it might be a cheap way to get a higher top on my Sportshatch, but got rid when it looked as if I was going to have to cut the thing about.

I couldn't possibly comment on its ability to do grin inducing power slides or the 11s you can produce on the tarmac with the help of the line lock!
I think the MT75 box is a big old clunky slow shifting box a bit like the ZF? I really fancy a well built sequential type 9 when I win the lottery!

Its only just over 8k.

No, defo not heavy or clunky.

You can play tunes with the cases, they mated them to sherpa 400s, transits, granadas, sierra cosworths etc. No bolt on bellhousings, unless you go for the rare competition ones...

James Hunt's favourite runaround. Fantastic looking little van, guessing it's got something a little livelier than an old A series in there?

Planting season is on for my neighbors:

Sorry to play devils advocate but rather than a body drop as the Americans call it

I thought it was called channeling.

I thought it was called channeling.

In hot rod terms that’s notching the body to sit lower on a chassis

Never heard it called notching, always chopped, channeled, sectioned.

We have had over a week of blue skies and sunshine, getting colder now though. Am back fitting my Defender doors this afternoon.

Perhaps pushing it describing it as a vehicle, though rebuilt this 10 years ago. I noticed a gumtree advert for a Saab 2 stroke triple engine and gearbox for £25, I phoned the seller straight away saying I would take it. Near enough a 2 hour trip to Johnstone to find the engine and gearbox were filled with oil and stuck under a bench in the 70's for a rally project that never happened.

Turned out the engine was a late 841cc two stroke with triple carbs and the desirable later 4 speed gearbox. I had a Saab 96 at the time and considered I could have tried it in that for fun.

Engine was in good condition, just needing new piston rings, seals and gaskets:

Ended up all sold on ebay, the engine to a mad South African building a:

Bargain at £25!

As I read it my first thought was message you to ask what you wanted for it

We have been building sidecars a while now and have a 1200 2 stroke triple from an NSU £100 to remove it ourselves

The current GS750 is great but there’s a BSA and a 1200 2 stroke that passes it on the straights. Still had the lap record in 3rd place a few weekends back at Mallory

A walk along the Crinan canal this morning, passed the steam powered 1943 VIC32

can just see someone up the rigging guiding them round the bend.
