Never known to want the normal in life, I thought the VW Dubbers and the Moggie Minority people needed a bit of competition, so I have started bidding

.....WHAT have I DONE ! (and am not even drunk !)

3 cylinders of raw 2 stroke power !

Wish me bad luck please

Increase the power x2 with a 2CV engine conversion ?...LOL

I have set my budget....we shall see

Nice car, not sure what it is but I suspect the may be a problem, the engine is pointing the wrong way!! - and has a cylinder missing!!

I am envious, I would really like to play with something like that, an old car that needs some TLC. right hand drive too, what a find!!

Good luck, and can not wait for the finished photos in a couple of years.

That's lovely! Good luck with the auction Alasdair!

two-stroke triples are lovely.. very smooth and perfectly balanced - l've had a few bikesd with two-stroke triples and the smell of the 2T oil is just magical

Looks like it could prove 'interesting'.

Tell you what, I'll send you a ten pence piece in the post so you can double your budget

Alasdair, is this car in the UK?

Stickyfinger · Post by **Stickyfinger** » 03 Dec 2015, 09:48

Excellent

A good county to get a car from.. Just like in Somerset, cars don't rust so badly there...

Auto Union 981cc, quite zippy when I last drove one but then 'sit up and beg' Ford Populars were the norm

Best hope you don't have to take that cylinder head off, corrosion welded them to the studs worse than C5 rear callipers.

Surprised at that. I'd have thought being a two-stroke that the head would have been off very regularly for decokes and that would have prevented the problem from occurring...

I only ever had to do one Jim, that was enough for me, had to buy a special hollow tool to reamer down between the head and the studs and soak in an abundance of plus gas to shift it.

Excellent choice for something a little different - & those estates are rare (like the saloons are common?)!
