Hi Tony
It is as I said a friends car, and even I, a great believer in Triumph, have
to admit Fiat made a bloody good job of the twin cam unit, the car is called
Beastie and it really is a beast. its previous incarnation was with a 2.5
Triumph six in it, and I did try to get him to fit a Sprint engine but he
said no!
