I think that wins the prize for the most horrific inlet manifold(s) ever..................

Bit like 8 port Samba ones! I suppose Ford hadn't built the Crossflow in 63

The manifold may be ugly, but the pair of twin-choke SU's could look very good on a 7 or 8 port A-series...

Anymore pictures of this car? I remember seeing a small picture of that in miniworld years ago. I think it was Scandinavian if I remember rightly.Vegard wrote:With drum brakes

Our very own Tim Harber has tried on of these on his historic racer.
The last time I saw the carb it was sitting on one of the shelves in his shop.
PS I have just noticed it says "USE BICYCLE OIL" on the dash pot tops.

Pure carb porn...
Were they efficient ?
I've heard that Burlen wanted to reproduce them, but I can't find them on their website..

As I have only seen the carb at one race meeting I guess that both a twin H4 set up or a Weber 45 are better. I think Tim mentioned there was a bit of a flat spot in the mid-range with the Twin Choke SU.
