Think it has some help (lots of it) from the strap, in the hole for the bonnet opening handle.

Great to finally get a look "in the shed" , have been waiting a long time!!!!!! & can't say I'm very impressed!!!!!!
It's always the blokes with the fat birds that think they've get the best looking girlfriends.

in the shed quote " I have a scrapyard by me with all sorts of exotica (rusty & ruined) in it "
You've been a bit quite recently but we now know exactly where you've been hiding..........down the scrapyard

It has been "in the shed" for years.

Was a very nice engine in it's time. Head is amazing. The flywheel is something I would have binned, but it may be of use to someone and may clean up, hence 99p.

BMW head going on it.

Looks like the wording " RACED UNDER REG EBL 56C THEN ABW 85H " has been removed from the advert. You can still find it if you Google ABW 85H and other interesting related facts.

I'd have this if I had more space

Just need to get drawings to build a home made Dyno to graft onto it.
