Andy Smith and Rob Oldaker were indeed BL/Rover engineers and both have held senior positions in the motor industry (I think Rob might have been MD of Cosworth Engineering at one point). As far as I know the car has been sat in Andy's garage since 1985 - although it was on display it at the MAC Centenary Meeting at Shelsley Walsh in 2001 (I've got some photos somewhere). I was talking to Andy's son at Harewood a few years ago and he said the cat was using it as somewhere to sleep in the garage!

clutch arm is probably due to the ball breaking off.....ahead of there times some what i feel....makes you wonder if this was 25-30 years ago what the race guys are devoloping now must be really interesting. "Cars are a lifetime of pain" |

Clutch arm is to avoid the chassis member. surely?

Current upto 2.0l hillclimb cars need over 400bhp, the current fastest around (with several new records) is Alex Summers in hid DJ Firehawk, using a 1400cc supercharged hayabusa engine. So you'd need to go some to run this competatively. isnt this/was running 1600 class ? Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

oh yes it's an 1140, that would be in the 1600cc clas (as the ad says).

I heard from a friend of Rob that it made nearer 300 bhp at one point,shortly followed by a conrod failure which left a big imprint on the side of the block.......... 'Where does the engine go?' |
