there was also an electric drive discussed on this forum some time ago.
Renault 750 was introduced into the 750 formula here in OZ in the sixtys to preserve A7 components and Athol Lamont put one in his chummy. I remember it threw a fan blade about the time we were admiring the installation.
Warren Bonning never one to shy away from a challenge produced a Suzuki powered ruby roadster for sale in the lightshaft about 2 years ago. cheers Russell
Right, that's sparked me up! I do have a CX engine lurking, actually I had 27 of them at one point, but that's a whole different story! Split dive shaft and a reversing gearbox from Nova and up and running!

Actually I quite fancy that idea. Imagine getting an Austin Ruby into the VSCC. Steve Jones, be prepared!!!
Yes Alan, you mean the 4 cyl engine that powered the Sandford and D'Yrsan French three wheelers presumably? Actually, if you take a look at a D'Yrsan and kind of squint...I could see a special Austin Seven front end three wheeler with an Ulster body on it....this is why I want an old grp Ulster body to chop up and modify. Just one of the things I need to do before being carted away!
Sandfords are magnificent machines.
