Just got back from G.EA.R day at Lakeside - SP250 out there - ex-US race
car. 10:1 CR sounds great! I had a 2.5 litre V8 sedan for 12 years - great
car except for horrible Borg Warner type 35 3 speed auto
Cheers

G'day Alan
I agree Alan, the Edward Turner designed V8 in either 2.5 or 4.5 litre form
is up there with the best V8s ever.
I had a friend with a 2.5 in a Morris Minor which was a lot of fun.
A well turned out and original Daimler SP250 is quite a nice car.

The worst part is he removed the car's best feature - the Damlier 2.5
L V8. Wonderful motor.
