NZ made alloy V8

[Peter Thompson]

Was given last months issue of Classic Bikes. Had one of Colins creations called a Lynton. Not sure how much it would cost but its for sale, will post a 1970's photo of it within the next week or so. It is a 500cc bike using half a block from a Hillman Imp with a Lyster head and disc brakes...looks rather cool.

Colin, built the Imp engines for the Roots Group rally cars. I think he made DOHC 4 valve heads. He used Wills Rings to seal the heads. These are gas filled O-rings which I used on the first engine I built, thanks to Colin.

I picked up a Denco quick change diff yesterday. Looks like a midget one, its a little tired but too cool to pass up. It was saved from a scrap metal dealer in New Plymouth. I can post photos if anyone wants. Now to find the rest of the car.........
