The Dude Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Wow, well spotted Bryan, you are totally correct sir. Whippets, luke warm tea, Eccles cakes, Fred Dibner and steam rallys aplenty in our future Neil M'boy! Wait till Drag day next year!!! Sadly I will be rocking APU, and Neil will revert to his original one. Mango is a seriously weird name for you lassy Neil, I bet she dosn't like that one bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost_bryan Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 B series engine with a single HS1 carb i can feel the economy from here Ah, but any B-series or derivative should bolt in easily. Keep it period with a twin carb setup from the MG Magnette version for a scorching 72bhp from 1622cc, or drop in a MGB lump for a breathtaking 95bhp from 1800cc, or go the whole hog and screw in a 16-valve 2-litre turbo M-series from a Rover Tomcat . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Don't need duel carb's, just a single works for me. The best thing about an oxford is in a zombie apocalypse they will plow through brick walls and zombies as good as any muscle car but the zombies literally can't see an oxford, it doesn't register on their radar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they can't see them, they just assume it's one of them. Given that a zombie is to a regular human as an Oxford is to a regular car. Horribly disfigured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 I love them with their pointy fins and slightly dour attitude. Oxfords that is, not Zombies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
