...... or are there some vital parts missing from the engine bay eg. carbs, radiator and what is that u shaped airbox type thing and the barrel shaped thingy <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
. This has got to be some sort of joke.

<p></p><i></i>

just realised that it is injected.....that would account for the lack of carbs!!!!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Anyone seen this type of modification on a sprint before??

<p></p><i></i>

i think the start price was meant to be 18.50<br>

<p>project orange - the longest rebuild project ever<br>
project white - let the mission begin...<br>
</p><i></i>

Hell! It is injected as well!<br>
<br>
Someone check it out, for Petes sake! What is this thing!<br>
<br>
Looks like one of the original racing intakes for twin webers from the formula engines that had the bosses already present.

The pictures are really small, but it looks a lot more like a bodged SU maniold rather than the weber item. Look at the angles on the inlet pipes, all the ones on a weber fanimold are parallel.<br>
<br>
-edit-<br>
<br>
Just asked a question about the injection system, I'll see if I can get some bigger piccys.

I can't see a bloody thing. <br>
<br>
I had one of those manifolds and it meant that you would it would poke out the bonnet at a funny angle if fitted to a normally mounted sprint engine.<br>

Here's the reply I got...<br>
<br>
"i will try and take some better pics of the injection system this afternoon. it was bought like it so haven't modified it. cheers karen"

<p></p><i></i>

Hmmm...this looks very strange....also for sale are a manual P6 V8 at £225 fair enough, but the Jaguar 4.2 series 1 carbaretta (?) type.....8.5k!!!!<br>
<br>
My thoughts:<br>
<br>
I think some middle class couple has bought an old farm or steading, and turned up these old bangers in the barn. They've then proceeded to open a copy of Classic and sports car magazine, and deluded themselves that they are condition 1 vehicles (only dusty) and they can recoup a good £10k of their investment.<br>
Hence the ludicrous prices on flea bay......<br>
<br>
I can see the previous seller/Estate agent....."yeah you can have the cars, they're worth a few quid, will throw them in for an extra 2 grand etc etc" then produces C&SC....<br>
<br>
Of course I may have drunk too much drain cleaner and be talking bollox...<br>
<br>
