Chromed twin carb inlet identification

Post by Alex »

I've been treasure hunting in Dad's garage (actually looking for some NOS +.020" D-crowns) and discovered a box I'd not seen before.
The Les Leston rampipes and the H4s are obvious, as is the HRG rocker cover, but there's an unknown inlet manifold which he thinks might be Mangoletsi (sp?).

Any ideas ?

Looks good - can I have it? Mangoletsi sounds ever so Italian and hence would fit my Inno Cooper perfectly. ;) ;) ;)
The below linked illustration seems to confirm your dads guess.

I've got a similar one of those but its a little shorter and angled up a little to fit a mini.
That one might be for a 1100/1300 car...just a guess.

With the length, and, the 1 and 1/8" carbs, more likely a Sprite/Midget......
