Re: Engine value

Are you sure it‘s a saloon engine tjt77 ?

I see a timing tab on the front cover & a short straight oil filler. I thought these were only on a dart engine. Admittedly I see nothing else to “identify“ its origin.

Can you please let me know, what i‘ve missed.


Thanks in advance

Re: SP250 Original Pressed Wheels

I'd get the wheels coated/painted in a light Colour ( Silver/White/Cream ). This will help with seeing cracks should they appear.

That's why most chassis based racing cars have battleship Grey Chassis .


Just my 50 Cents worth, but that's what I'd do
