Saw this at Normanby Hall on Sunday - never heard of a Coldwell Twin Cam before. The owner wasn't very forthcoming with info other than it's the only one and he's been restoring it for some time.

Lots of spark plugs. Does this mean that it's 8V? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I mean 8V though, not V8. We all can see it's a Mini block. The reason why I think it's a 8V is because there is seldom room for two plugs in a 16V.

My brother spoke to him and found out the car weighs about 400kg, and the engine produces about 115bhp, but has very little torque. Apparently he changed the path of the exhausts when repairing the manifold, and this increased the overall length of the exhaust and now it runs better.

the car weighs about 400kg I would be suprised if this is true personally, some wishful thinking on the part of the owner I'd say, doesn't look especially lightweight to me.

Looks like it will be a fabulous restoration of a piece of late 60's engineering.

Oh ye!!, so your an expert on lightweight now are we,lol. i for one can spot a very clever lightweight item , the OS quater panel has a big hole in it, presumably he did it when trying to balance out his corner weights, carl |
