Welcome

An 1840cc mighty crossflow are you sure that has to be lively if it is.

cant wait on the spec

It's an 1840 using an 831C block. I'm waiting for Graham to get back to me with the full spec. But he told me that it's certainly a lively beast :d

Car looks like a real find, the engine spec looks superb - you can't beat the sound of a well sorted X-flow - I bet it revs well :d

Welcome. Interesting to see car with a '52' plate and a Flow motor, that must be a very rare beast indeed.

Good to know Graham is still about. He did work for me on a few cars in the distant past. Curved the distributor and set up the carb on my Cobra copy, put a pair of new carbs and set up the XFlow in the Westy about a year after it was on the road and also set up another V8 for me in a Marcos we used to have.

I recall turning up to his workshop as he was running his hillclimb car on the rollers. Impressive, as was the amount of tyre rubber stuck to the walls & ceiling!  Proper nice chap too.

...and 1840 in a Xflow - that must be pretty impressive. Keen to see that spec as well.
