Single seater race car, who knows the power plant?
Pre X flow Ford at a guess. Believe it or not, DAF Variomatic............. Right mr Oily Tony Bike  I thought I was right, just from the photo, The power plant is a Ford pre crossflow 997 screamer. The original block would have been found in an anglia and the heads were modified by blocking off the inlets in the normal place and boring down above the inlet valve (to give a straight inlet port) and using one choke of a twin choke, in this case downdraft Weber................... I stand corrected sir  Found a snippet saying its a "Huron-Cosworth HA4 with DAF Variomatic transmission" Didn't see the trucks/musicians on Friday (& didn't go on Sat or Sun), so good to see the pics. |

Yeh, its a Daf transmission alright. My guess is they used that to save time on gear shifts. A lot of inovations back in those times. |

He was always a star!
Completely forgot to set the TV reminder, so just caught the last 5 minutes. That Toyota Celica, turbocharged, supercharged and nitrous?! Crazy.
I want one.

Don't think it'll get up the test hill quite as fast as some of those guys did though.
