Great piece on the completed Abarth museum in Belgium. Many cars I would donate working and not working body parts to own. Finishing with 037. https://velocetoday.com/visit-the-new-squadra-abarth-rally-collection/
Watched the Revival stuff on the weekend Simon? It was a bit damp there. Took home some of the Duke's topsoil from the carpark... I have heaps of photos...
See if this works. Ok pics for just using an iPhone I guess! https://photos.app.goo.gl/h1RxeCJEov7NUGKu6
Brilliant photo's Andrew,I'm a little disappointed though........you didn't take any Alfa Romeo pics! The carpark always offers up some surprises.
Thanks Andrew - triggered some great memories! Pity about the ugly bloke in the hat Image Unavailable, Please Login
Disappointed that Joe and Daniel didn't make an effort! It's interesting to see the difference between the pre-1963 spec cars (250SWBs, E-Types 260 Cobras) and the TT spec cars. Had an interesting discussion with an engine builder at CKL Developments earlier this year. A TT spec Jag engine (webers, extractors, wide angle head etc is 370-380hp. You can get 400hp, but it becomes a bit undriveable. They do a lot of tricky things with them now. 289 Cobra engines he reckoned about 450hp. Pre-1963 spec cars run on SUs, normal cyl heads, standard manifolds etc and are probably 320-330hp. About the same as a strong 250SWB engine I would reckon.
Haha - I got a policeman to take that one for me! Was in front of the 'summer of love' display with a bunch of hippies!
