The wrong thing done right?

[88v8]

Looks to have been done well, it got finished and it's in use. The Princess had a wood/leather interior. The period wing mirrors are a nice touch.



1967 Austin princess 1100.

But no low-end torque.
... not easy to drive...' says the seller'. No wonder, when this is the source of the engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR1100XX
How is an 1,800lb car with max torque at 7,500rpm and a tiny flywheel, going to be anything but a pita.



Presumably the fan blows outwards...

Geared properly the thing would be a blast (I notice the diff is a chain drive so presumably the ratio could be changed there) however I notice not a word was said about reverse.
