Fantastic car, but probably hard to take on an extended tour!

Steve, With a 12 litre v8 using 1914 carburetor technology it sucks petrol faster than your MGC with triple sidedraft Webers that is running rich

So let me think this through: You have an Amilcar car weighing 650 pounds complete with a 900cc engine, remove the drivetrain and install a 12,000cc aircraft engine weighing 800 pounds, producing 140 HP, and dare to drive it? What a snorting beast! I drove an Oldsmobile-Allard once, and it scared the pants off me. Imagine how hairy this must be!

I wonder if the Bugatti-engined MG TC written about in Road and Track still survives? I suspect the Bug engine turned out to be so much more valuable than the car, that it was removed and re-installed in a Bugatti.

Nothing sucks fuel faster than my MGC.

Tom, my old neighbor had a brass era Fiat with a Sopwith Camel engine. It would do a reported 140MPH, although he wasn't brave enough to test that.

In my dreams they have restored the Brooklands race track and beasts like this take to the banking in competition.!

With a bit of imagination....
