Fast Marina Magazine

Looking through some old Hot Car mags I bought in 1971 and came across this article.





===============================================

"Top speed in the 155mph mark..."

And all at 19.2 mpg, thats better than Brian's standard TC aint it?...

Check out the name of the guy at the end Frank...

Think thats the spec motor we need to do for fast, faster?...

Yes Gary...spotted that one mate...the scarlet pimpernel no less! :roll: , that build spec looks good for the ST project mate...reckon you can get the nescessary bits for it?, as long as i get the rest of the car set up right that should be a wee beastie as our northern cousins would put it

I've got the turrents sorted Frank, we have templates done so can make what you need when you need it..

8) Sounds good Ben , are the anti tramp bars getting there too mate?, as i reckon when i start cutting the floor open i will need to line it all up at once , still there`s plenty of time...i don`t think she will be on the road for this year! ...too many others to do first!

You've got the bars mate! I gave them too you in August! !

Well you'll have enough time to get all the parts together!

:roll: yes sorry mate i meant the brackets for the axle mountings, as they were a bit tight , i have still got them...unlike pauls bits :roll: , god knows what i did with those...must be all that paint doing my head in!

Ahh yeah I will get them made up mate.

I reckon we might try a set of Lotus twin cam pistons for that project you know Frank..

Cheers Ben, I think this one`s going to come out well mate...once i get all the right parts together, nearly there now though, just a couple of `S` badges and the engine itself, need to see Gary about that later...i think he needs another paint job doing

Don't forget the genuine ST engine of yours i've got here too Frank..

:shock: Blimey Gaz...you reckon they will fit?..sounds interesting... 8)

They do mate.. Its been done..

Yes the 1275 one better do that one first mate so i can sell that to pay for the other one ay!!
