Re: Engine Porn....
The sound of this engine has to be heard - I remember seeing/hearing the car do a few laps of Brands Hatch when Nick Mason owned one (I seem to recollect he spent a fortune on the engine rebuild only for it to expire after relatively little use :
BRM V16 1.5 litre producing 600bhp @ 12,000 rpm !
