Its nothing special really, its a 1983 204bhp sc, with converted webers to "sport spec", and SSi heat exchangers. When i had the carbs done by Eike Heusen of Chatsworth Motor Spares, he offered me an extra 20bhp, by modifying the carbs for an extra £200. Which i thought was good value.
The proof will be in the pudding when i actually drive it.
My old 188bhp sc on standard early heat exchangers and unmodified carbs had 206bhp at the wheels, so i am hoping for more, to see if all of this money is well spent. The car is currently in Gulf Blue and i am slowly putting it back together, but with three kids, running my own business etc, it is a slow process. So much for my plans to go to classic lemans. Should be on the road for the spring.
As a friend's father once said after 36 years restoring a car "You can't rush a good thing"! More photos to follow.

Congrats James, I am sure you will be happy with the results. It can't be easy doing this kind of stuff with business requirements and 3 kids, I take my hat to you.
Enjoy
