    It also looks like it's in rather good nick, and they are quite rare.
    Guess people didn't take to them that much and rather bought MGBs and
    other, properly hairy-chested sports cars instead of something that's
    got (almost) a bike engine and revs like mad. Wouldn't last, obviously,
    much like CB750 Fours didn't ;).

    I've been to Margate, and I know how fiercely these cars can rust. I
    would guess that s/he hasn't had it for very long and figured out just
    how small it is.

    Shit I haven't been in one of those since 1977. Engineer at the building of
    the Leyland truck and bus plant had one. Microscopic inside!

    That I know, but OTOH the engineering is wonderful for the time. The
    engine is for all intents and purposes a bike engine with a rather high
    rev limit (from memory, it redlines at something like 8000 or 9000).

    Supposedly a University in Germany put one of them on their engine test
    bench and revved the bollox of it. 9k - no problem. 10k - no
    problem. 11k - *bang*.

    That'll be a new engine test bench then. The engine itself was fine.

    Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate Timo
    Roller bearing crank, ISTR. About the only car engine I can think of with
    one.
