Well it's a lot of engine for a quid isn't it. It's amazing that these are so cheap, in a few years time I think V12 Jag's will be good money.

After WWII it was the only real mass production V12 (until the Merc, Beemer ones of the late eighties/early nineties), we're lucky to have a relative plethora is this country. Various regulations will mean that engines like this are a thing of history, we'll no doubt only get smaller turbo'd mills in future.

They are dying off very quickly now though, sad. I was just reading the other day that E Types now out number XJ40's...

That doesn't surprise me at all. Morris Minors have out numbered Mk1 Mondeo's since the scrappage scheme. :roll:

Rob, if your going to "do a Charlie", why not keep it all Fiat?

Where'd the Topolino Cinquecento picture go? :think:

Would take me a little out of the £999 budget for Guff II (insert TTW calculator gag here). ;)
