Sorry about the Facebook link but I couldn't trace to original source.

Nice film even though colourised.

It looks like you need to watch the colourised version if you want the full length film.

That takes me back!

I think the fuel consumption of the 948 A35 was actually better than the 803 A30. That could of course be down to the driver Rolling Eyes

I noticed a significant reduction in economy, however, when I fitted the 1098 engine with high lift cam and twin carbs!!

In order to be able to afford the trip from Woking to North London every week I had to reinstate the original A30 manifold and carb. I think I used to average 30 mpg which at the time I thought was good considering the improvement in performance.
