Now if he did that from under the vehicle he'd be a real Barth mechanic... Ok, it looks like an older British Ford engine (maybe 1600 Cortina type?) 3 main bearings, dual (Weber, Stromberg?) carbs, pushrod engine. Sure wish I had a "bonnet" that tips forward like that. So, experts, what car/engine is that? Triumph, Astin, hmm... 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

I think the car (and engine) is a Triumph Spitfire... Right hand drive, British plate on the front, but with a US speedometer? Where the speedo is set into the dash, the wood is mucked up. Speedo has been switched. | |||

The bonnet reminded me of Triumph, but the instruments were weird, like you said. I didn't recognize the logo on the gearshift knob either. Definitely not a modern engine. Look for smoke from the Lucas electrical system! 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||
