Product Placement (Downton)

Post by mk1 »

I received these images from Tim Harber this morning.

Taken from the AA book of the car.

Wonderful bit of product placement don't you think.

must have been a secret trick of Downtons to use a 998 head gasket on a 1275 engine :lol:

The Guru has feet of clay!

It looks like a 998 kit to me too.

The car pictures are of a BMC 1100/1300 aren't they?

Wonderful pictures by the way :)

They certainly are.

The 1100 "Motorway" kit was the best seller Downton ever had.

Just a quick question, is it a sticker or a normal Downton badge on the twin carb box ? It looks just slightly bigger than normal to me.
