    It's horizontally opposed 2 x 6 pistons. I've always thought that the pistols lay perfectly flat, hence the whole thing about being a BOXER engine. Boxer meaning 6 x 6 flat.
    BUT, I'm not an expert on this, in fact I'm not an expert on anything, unlike AIRCON

    we put a straight edge on my TR when we did the belts.........and could see daylight in the middle.

    I have to find where I read it, but it was a criteria for F1 back then that engines had to be V configuration and Enzo being a mental giant thought that 2 degrees would make a nice V

    and being "flat" the engine would sit lower in an F1 thus creating lower centre of gravity

    Don't think flat 12's qualify. ???? Only for V12 cars up to 1973

    365 boxer was actually first produced in 1973 fyi. So I wonder what they'd say if you rolled up in that (not that I am ready to do that) mines 1976 anyway

    Best thing is to ask one of the Carbi guys Gil if you were planning on going. Would be an awesome trip, great roads.

    I took the 512 on a carbi guys lunch run recently and I was really surprised at how good that car drives and how good it looks compared with cars the same vintage or earlier.

    Well, he has to bring SOMETHING in. It wouldn't be right for a non member in a Jag being eligible and yet others not. :p

    Hey Blackjag, can you send me details as I just realised it's a 2012 event, so I might be interested. Maybe I can talk them into the F40. (boxers aren't early enough).
    they'll say NO to AIRCON, but they usually say YES to me, because my cars are RED lol

    I have a good contact for registration purposes in Tas.

    If a 360CH can be registered then an F40 should be a snack
