Dunno, Derek. I know the Merlin and Griffon rotated differently, but I haven't been under the bonnet yet.
This is what I really wanted, but a budget deficit of £25.000 or so necessitated compromise.

Why would it be called "EARS"? Don't quite follow the logic.

Erm what is it?

My Manxtail Cooper-Climax had an ERSA gearbox O0
-
In a Citroen casing, if memory serves me right.
One of the odder cars I had was a Buckler with an ENV pre-selector box bolted direct to the diff (it had IRS). The engine was a pre-war BMW six with three downdraught (really) SU carbs. The other weird thing about this engine was that the plug leads passed through the block in groups of three.

Betcha got to remove the supercharger, stub wings and fin to use it on HM's highway. O0 or :police: will get involved. With a sharpened leading edge on the fan you could eliminate some of the idiots using the roads, unfortunately the authorities take a dim view.
Regards Ian.
PS. That's a BIG lump of glass you had to replace.

Hello cj
My wife and I have The Handyman shop in Queensbury, hence the car's presence. I'd just driven down from Co. Durham. People were nearly driving into one another on the A1 looking at it and photographing it. I haven't had so much attention since I used to drive things like a pink Stingray and a Facel HK500.
