Opps, sorry to ruffle feathers. My interest is in Rootes/Chrysler UK mainline cars so I have a tendency to view all of the sports cars together. I am glad to hear that some very capable people have b

Jan, No offence, but you're not suggesting the Alpine is not a 'real' sports car are you? Let's not forget the original MG was a hotted up Bullnose Morris, and MGA's and B's used the same basic engin

Hey guys... why don't we settle this once and for all by bringing all your Rootes vehicles to the Sunbeam Invasion this June. You can drive them in the Rally and prove that they are ALL true sporting

Vic, I have always heard the TR engines were hotted up David Brown tractor engines. Is that true, or were the tractor engines detuned car engines? These things really are not important, other than to

I'm not completely sure of the origin. The authoritative Micheal Sedgwick refers to it as a Vanguard engine. I have also heard it was used in tractors, from folks putting the TR series down. My guess
