5 litre v8 only 470kg and at 110 yrs old still does hill climbs!

I love the exposed valve gear and how the equally exposed camshaft gets oiled with a can before starting! this is worth a look

That engine is like a piece of art. Stunning.

Wow, inside out engine, solid rear axle and originally permanently open auxiliary exhaust ports on the heads; that must have been an interesting drive!

What a lovely looking car though, even though it's a contemporary recreation, using period parts, it really does look like it belongs.

Bet it uses less oil than a crossflow, too.
