Barry H Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Ashley, Forgive my intrusion but if Steve does not pursue your offer I certainly would be interested. I'll watch this space. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 As would I, can I have third refusal ? Have you had the important bits crack tested etc ...? and why are you getting rid of it ?

AshleyC Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Steve,Barry,Greg Cam is actually A8.The engine was intended to go into an existing cross-flow live axle car to make more competitive for sprints/hill climbs but I decided to go circuit racing instead and changed car to a 1400 DeDion. Barry and Greg,Not heard from Steve as yet,will keep you posted.You've realised this is a bargain but its clear out the garage time!
