Could it be a compressor/supercharger unit rather than a turbo?

My old man was a bit keen on the MOWOG horrors.. it was embarrassing, but at least usually - he got to cane 'em hard before they'd shit themselves..
..unless it was raining.. or, some other Lucas, or similar 1/2 arsed - let down componentry..

Anyone researched 'Goodbye Pork Pie'? How many of those wee yellow pus-buckets did they bin doing that.. as many as the Eyetie Job? Did NZ a favour..

Like a turd in a goldfish bowl

Autsin Gypsy

The engine kind of formed the basis for the Vanderall F1 Car with a few mods. 5 bearing crankshaft.

Along with a works 500 Norton top end x 4

Which one? Tony bloody Abbott.. he's got a Kiwi missus y'know.. But his company car is a BMW - & they took over the bones of BLMC, huh?

( & Tony is a former Leyland P-38 owner/operator.. so I guess he's been a bit of a loser sincer way back)..

Counting down yourself there H.. & you surely must've been referring to a BLMC product.. or you'll likely be pinged - for being off topic..

Yeah, & to his credit, it was a V8 manual, & he made his money back on it, selling it to a mate..

Good guess, but wrong H.. you sure bloody dropped that one, like an overipe stinker..

Vanwall used an al-alloy R-R mill as its architectural basis, not a huckery old Austin..
