Here’s a a walk around of my 1964 356c, which has a 100bhp engine, it’s 1725cc, has a counterbalanced crank, 912 camshafts, 123 distributor and Chinese Solexes. Steering wheel is a Nardi and the trim kit came from Lakewell.Com

I never had a standard 1600cc engine so hard to say other that it’s surprisingly torquey and free revving. It’s a lovely, smooth engine and it flies round to about 5,800 very easily, but it doesn’t need revving to maintain speed.
It’s a lovely car IMO.
