Rob,
Is there a 0 missing from your price! There are were a number of different
capacity Coventry Climax engines all of which were lightweight and highly
tuned and tunable. They were in fact portable fire pump engines hence the
designed in lightness and performance. Yes, early Elite was one car that had
them fitted. Yours truly isn't likely to have the funs to obtain one,
rebuild it and install it in a hurry but it would be great to be different -
assuming the engine weighed in lighter than an A-series and power was greater
(preferably capacity too)

Steve Latham had a Climax FWE (?) Twin-cam engine still in the box. Not
sure how much he would need to part with it. I offered #100 about 4 years
ago and he was tempted. Isn't this the one from the Brabham Spridget and
the early Elite? >>
