| I am surprised that there has been no more comment on the Chevrolet Corvair. I was parked near one early in the season. the engine bay is just something! Surely someone on here has one? |

My Dad had one of the first official VW imports in 1953 ( I think), of which he was very proud.
Herself and I have had two air-cooled Citroens, a 1967 Ami 6 bought in 1970 and replaced by a new Ami 8 in 1972. Both estate cars and great cars, both of them. |

Also had one of these, restored from a real basket case over about 18 months. Now resident at someone's villa on Minorca.

I have a 110 hp Corvair engine and transaxle but lost interest when a few of the studs on both heads snapped off- besides they rotate bassackwards

Hi
There was a thread about a Corvair restoration, I believe it was a chap in South America somewhere, I think he has also done a Mini.
Rick might recall who it is and know where to find the thread. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
