I have seen those castiron-head minx / Arrow cars. And an Arrow automatic
had single Stromberg. Super Minx was made with alloy-head 1725, and Minx
Super Sport had dual Stromberg intake, maybe with a common intake manifold
with Alpine. (I mean that Super Minx before Hunter/Arrow body, about 1966).
Baby Cuda Alpine had 2 strombergs, but both manifolds were un-suitable to
series Alpines (I tried hard but in vain!°).
I have not seen even a photo of a Vogue, so I am curious to hear more, a
friend of mine have 2 Vogues as parts cars. What a pity none of his
Hunter/Arrow/Vogue cars has an O/D unit.
By the way, are there any suitable Rootes rear axles to give longer ratio
than std Alpine with no O/D?

lost its front bumper!
