  • Omg, Steve drove me round Goodwood in that Griffith, I’ve never felt so sick in my life! Earth shattering pace back then.

    Love watching Elvis work his magic, the man is a genius.

    I believe we need a tad longer videos! Loved it!

    The joys of dealing with cars from small volume British manufacturers, never quite know what you are going to find. I remember them sending a Cerbera along for Clarkson's Unleashed On cars DVD and they had stuck a Tuscan challenge V8 in it so it would do well in the drag race, it did rather too well and destroyed the entire line up of supercars.

    Love TRV's Evis was the best mechanic!
  • Should magnaflux the block between the mains and the camshaft for a longitudinal crack. Harsh treatment using the clutch with a manual box can crack the block dumping oil pressure when hot.

    My friend has one. Was faster than the Ferrari at the time.

    I had a 500HC for 17 years. I loved it, it was manically quick. But didn't quite as sound as good as the non Cat earlier models
  • Imagine, the company give you a car and then drive it sideways, get a bonus. Clarksonesque.
  • Top end rebuild. Hope you broke it in before thrashing it.

    A "strong engine", and it was "fastidiously maintained", and then it blew up. 🙂
  • Can someone correct me if im wrong but i was sure cam lobe height affected how far the valves opened and its the overall shape of the lobe that affects the duration
