Eight carbies to tune!
Fitted with the 2ltr Bristol 6 cylinder engine with triple Solex carbies and driving through a four speed manual gearbox fitted with Overdrive for more relaxed driving.
He wouldn't go for any car unless it had twin carbies.
At the same time Carbies were rebuilt, Gearbox, Clutch, Brake master and wheel cylinders were rebuilt.
He would adjust his carbies if he ran into problems.
