I keep tropical fish, in me underpants.... Digger pictures! Engine rebuild

[drum]

Ullo John! Gotta a new motor?

 

Yes I have.

But I want to keep you in suspenders.

 

Clue 1: it's 37 years old

 

Tam, you're not allowed to play.

 

Nice chod vid

[vulgalour]

1978 and your track record I'm going to go for....

 

[Tam]

Why I have no bloody idea! 

[KruJoe]

Good golly gosh, that Maxi is perfect.

[drum]

That is a nice maxi VA and you have the correct nationality for clue number two.

[Richard]

Lots of trouble, usually serious?

[Cavcraft]

SD1?

[Bucketeer]

Is it a 1968 Colliday Chariot which was written off in the early '70s after a track day incident and then re-registered in 1978 after being fitted with a V8 and an indicator stalk from a '78 Tatra 613?

It is, isn't it?

 

[Louise2cv]

Poo brown allegro/vdp?

[drum]

Not lotus. I did see a twin plenum sd1 while viewing something similar to my new purchase. I already have a poo brown allegro Louise.

 

Buckateer, inspired guess work but not correct this time.

 

I am being a bit of a toss3r as it's off the autoshite radar.

 

More clues: 3.8 litre

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Did it have this 3.8 engine when it came out of the factory?

Is it a car?

[burraston2006]

 

one of these with an engine from on of these?

 

[drum]

Getting warmer*

 

3.8 litre from factory and no, not a car.

 

NNW you get one white mastermind peg.

 

It's rougher than that jag and cost 1500 spondoolics

[LC Torana]

I was going to say Mk3 Cortina, swayed by Alexei, but 1978 with a 3.8 litre engine?

 

Range Rover?

[Louise2cv]

Green Cortina. Or beige estate.

 

Although I'm not convinced having a poo brown allegro is reason enough to rule out having another poo brown allegro. Esp if it were a vdp for special occasions.

[Louise2cv]

oh.

[John F]

Is it a bus?

 

 

[steve_earwig]

Is it a cement mixer?

 

I really am bad at these...

[John F]

I bet it's a mobile library, or an aircraft tug. Or an experimental mobile chicken rotisserie.

 

It is, isn't it?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Wasn't there a Dodge 50 with a Perkins 4236 on the Tat thread recently ?

[RichardK]

 

JCB 3C?

[Asimo]

Is it really a 231 Cubic Inch engine?

[drum]

4 white pegs RichardK!

 

Actually a Hymac 370C. Pictures to follow...

[Taff]

Arse. I was hoping it was a Daimler Ferret

[RichardK]

I'd never heard of Hymac, so wouldn't have gone that route!

[vulgalour]

Had to look that one up.  Coincidentally, this picture of what appears to be a bright yellow stiletto shoe turned up in my search.  Only it's not a shoe.

 

[LC Torana]

Ahh, a Hymek. A BR class 35 diesel-hydraulic.

[burraston2006]

This game is fun! Buy something else so that we can guess!!

[chaseracer]

Arse. I was hoping it was a Daimler Ferret

 

Did the Ferret not get the 4.2 XK?  And would one with a 2.4 be a 'reverse Ferret'?

 

 

 

 

 

 

IGMC...
