Careful with that seller. Think it may be the chap that scammed me a couple of years ago.

I may be wrong but there are bells ringing. At least this auction is collection, so you get to see the goods before handing over the hard earned. What do people reckon it will bring?

Nice, looks very original with all the corrects studs and rocker cover nuts. Shame about the extra hole in the rocker cover, but that's being picky.
Be interesting to know what number it is.

Well sadly wasn't me, my assistants wage obviuosly isn't good enough. Got outbid at 950quid ( I thought that was fair ), though could have gone higher.

Sorry to hear that, Tim. Would have looked nice alongside your other goodies I've seen on SMF.

AndyB72 had a run of manifolds done a few years ago, he may still have an odd one.
I have also re manufactured rocker shafts, valves, valve guides etc for them in the past.

Thanks Mark, Steve, it would have been put onto the 64 Hornet in current restoration ( though was/still am thinking Downton as didnt win 7 port) as have a few other Alexander bits and bobs that would have gone well with it. And have a freind who is doing the same.
Would have been nice to have two different cars/projects both different 7 port's by different 60's tuning companies.
Brian you have pm
