Part of me feels that if I'm going to throw 10/15/20k at the car to build the ultimate engine, I'd rather spend that money on another period car that's more capable in the first place, something like an RS2000 or Sunbeam.

Or a 6R4?

Good luck on finding a 6R4 for £20k.

We must have been lucky then with the one we picked up a few years back.

If you want the classic look its got to be Arden 8 port ultimate but expensive or 7 Port not as good but Cheap

 

I went for cheap

Depends on what "a few years back" is?

This gets my vote ......some photos I took in the race paddock at last years Brands Hatch Mini Festival.   Arden Engineering - 1969 British Saloon Car Championship Winnershttp://mk1-performan...k/arden_eng.htm

I usually hate folk who quote photographs, but my god this is the dogs!

Either way it needs pics (1st rule of the Internet - without pics it didn't happen). I would love a 6R4 but they are six figures for a genuine one now.

I did find one 6R4 on the tinternet but wanted over £74k. But there was a replica for £15k

[nicklouse]

A picture from quite a few years back.



Will be a V8 version though.

[Craig89]

That 6R4 needs some love!!

When did you buy that, Nicklouse? 10 years ago nearly?

 

Is it in Sweden now?

[nicklouse]

I did not buy it. A good friend did and I would be helping out on it if I was still out there but life changes.


Yes it is in Sweden. Could have been about ten years ago now.
