Oh I dunno Wanderoo - I had a Hunter GLS with the Holbay engine and 2 fairly large Weber DCOE carbs + overdrive - it was just getting into its power band at 85mph in 4th gear/overdrive - lovely car to drive (in a straight line ).
Metallic Blue with black vinyl roof and smart Rostyle wheels.
I was very sad to let it go when I left the RAF,but it really needed 5 star fuel,they had already stopped making 5 star and when I became a civvy I lost my supply of 100 octane LOL
