Interesting?

Ok, this is a bit interesting in itself. A custom built GL1800 engine, sounding real good on it's first startup.

Boring? Really? Well, just wait until you see where it's going !!

This car, which many of you won't recognise, is a Hillman Imp from the 70s. It would normally have an all alloy 875cc four cylinder Coventry climax engine in the rear. Very light weight.
I have not investigated just how he is managing to get it to handle with the weight of a 6 cylinder Wing engine stuffed up its arse!!

Been following his build, he's quite the handy person.

He's in New Zealand.
