Can anyone tell me a little more about this car - is it really a monocoque with a 3 1/2 litre engine ?

I'm a bit confused as to the 3.5L mention. This appears to be a Ford V8 in either a 289 or 302 configuration. That's 4.7 or 5.0. To the best of my knowledge, Ford didn't make a 213 engine in a V8 and I don't think Edelbrock (the intake gives that away) made any such intake compatible either. Ford did make a 221, but that is 3.6L. It might be compatible with that intake though as the 221 became the 260-289-302.
Are the photos of a different engine maybe?
215 ci Buick/Rover as Rick previously posted.
Subsequently developed versions of this engine can be stretched to over 5 liters and are very light weight.
I like the faux knockoffs
Was sold at the Autosports International show at the NEC today. Can't remember exactly but think it was £75k, may have been £77k. :shocked:
Other than that it was a good show.
No doubt the new owner will get a rude awakening when he/she starts discussing the car with other UK owners/interested parties :lipsrsealed::lipsrsealed::lipsrsealed:
This car did the auction rounds last year, painted white, didn't sell, but a quick flash over with gulf colours, a few stickers and a completely misleading description makes it worth WHAT ?
