cliff.b Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Great day out today meeting my old friend who has been living abroad for several years but back for good now and brought his car with him. Back when we were young we both had Spitfires and he is still keen on them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 If they were to say that they identified as Triumphs on certain days, would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff.b Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 My friend imported the Jag from the US. Has had the engine rebuilt, all the emission control nonsense removed & 3x HS8 SUs fitted. Thinks he has added about 80BHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief, that bit of paper says supercharged 420+BHP. My friends one was a 1970 US car but he has ditched all that emission control nonsense & had it rebuilt to largely earlier UK spec with some mild tuning & balancing. He was told it should be producing getting on for 300bhp and that felt fairly "brisk". God knows what the supercharged one is like 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
