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 Quote

alexander72 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 superb engine specification - that will be a mighty cross flow..... 1 Quote
tisme Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 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 Welcome to the club Quote
corsechris Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 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. Quote
