These look like they would be a nice track day tool http://www.130lr.cz/eindex.html, just need some wheels which fill the arches better[:)]

<br />wasn't there a 1.5 version of the Skoda lump in the Felicia? How would that go? [:p]<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
There was in the Kit Car Felicia - it was the 1300 engine bored and stroked to 1500cc or thereabouts. Went like poo off a well-polished shovel, but apparently not too reliable. You can get 130 bhp out of the 1300 engine without spending too much money, so that would be fun enough, I reckon....

It should've been sent to your email inbox [:p] But if you havn't got it, the general jist of it was if you fancy meeting up over a pint so I can take a gander at your Estelle please? [:D] One of these is really starting to appeal...

Found the mystery engine!!

It is indeed an aircooled Tatra V8 from one of these

Styling-wise, someone's taken a Renault 30, a VW variant front grille and lowered it a bit[:)]

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
