The wrong thing done right?
Looks to have been done well, it got finished and it's in use. The Princess had a wood/leather interior. The period wing mirrors are a nice touch.
1967 Austin princess 1100. But no low-end torque. ... not easy to drive...' says the seller'. No wonder, when this is the source of the engine [en.wikipedia.org] How is an 1,800lb car with max torque at 7,500rpm and a tiny flywheel, going to be anything but a pita. Presumably the fan blows outwards... Bike-engined road car: The wrong thing done right. [www.ebay.co.uk] Ivor |

Re: The wrong thing done right?
Geared properly the thing would be a blast (I notice the diff is a chain drive so presumably the ratio could be changed there) however I notice not a word was said about reverse.
