Jerry, those Morgans, especially the flat rad style, are highly prized by their owners. The Allard is cool too.
Okay Roger, now to get your coals stoked..............I think I've shown this one before, but maybe not.........a TC with a "little" modification.............
Thanks guys for the kind words about the photos---
And 29bowtie-----good to see you on here since your profile says its been 4 1/2 years since last post!!!!!!!!!!!!!hope to see more people get involved as its been getting slower and slower around here
Bob,
That is a very, very nice TC! Cannot believe an Ardun Flathead in that thing! Look at the exhaust work to clear the steering!!
Even more unbelievable when you realize it's a V8 60 with the very rare (around 20 sets made for the smaller engine) heads. And to expand the wonder, the owner had TWO sets of those heads.
I read the story today of how those heads came to be - a contract to provide engines to the London Cab Company, but differences in the way HP was calculated had Ford about to lose the contract so he commissioned Duntov to design & build a set of conversion heads to boost output power. Years later Chrysler basically copied the design for the first production hemi, and the heads were very nearly interchangeable!! Quite a story!!
Thanks for the pics Jerry. Lots of old stuff there. My friend used to bug me about getting a triumph spitfire in british racing green, bought 68 mustang instead!
