I saw a late 1800 wing stripped down to the bare chassis last week.

To look at it's a giant sportsbike frame complete with single sided arm.

The temptation as the stripper agreed is to put sportsbike cosmetics on one.

Semi on-topic. A guy down Nelson has put a 6 cylinder wing engine into a Hillman Imp and made a very nice job of it. mini-Porsche almost. https://www.youtube.com/@yoeddynz

My brother-in-law had the performance version of the Imp - Sunbeam something with twin carbs. He reckoned that flat out on the Northwestern motorway the front got light enough to lose steering in strong winds.

I was thinking that the Commodore 1800 was the worst car I'd ever owned. I'd completely forgotten the bloody Imp.

And no,we're not discussing ballasting Imps. Set up correctly, it's not neded.
