All this looks very exciting!

Frank, I think you need to check your spray booth filter mate! If the memory thing starts getting worse you could be down to elastic on your gloves dude

I think you may have a gremlin in your workshop!

Yes, can get that done for you mate, best not not take too much off them though as its a lighter wheel than the MGB one anyway.. And too much off will course running problems..

Any idea on the state of tune? Could simply be a head and a cam in that thing. Nice rocker cover sticker mind, better than the later type.

Not 100% yet, but the standard plus packs for the Marina's had 1-1/4" S.U's and this has had 1-1/2"'s as early works car had..
