Hi SJ, Not sure if this helps but I have a 1760cc xflow that was originally built for a hillclimb customer of Paul Matty's in 1993 which I bought and refreshed 3 yrs ago to the following spec: AX block Flat top Arias forged pistons with new rings Stage 4 race head, unleaded conversion, steel rocker assembly A6 Cosworth profile cam; Lift inlet 10.3mm, exhaust 10.2mm; Duration 304 deg; Timing 104 deg; new followers New SS one piece valves 41.3mm inlet, 34.9mm exhaust New bronze valve guides New double valve springs Bore 85mm (honed), stroke 77.62mm, capacity 1762cc Crank - std, polished and checked Main bearings - std Bid end bearings - std Balanced - yes Conrods - std Ford OE, std length, balanced Head gasket 87.5mm Ajusa High pressure/capacity oil pump New water pump Balanced clutch/flywheel Running on 2x Weber DCOE 40s with Emerald 3D ignition Rev limit 7,500rpm. Flywheel output approx. 165bhp from Tom Airey dyno in Hants on a crisp spring morning.

It might for the FF community. Got mine rebuilt for around 2k albeit a refreshed 1760cc on dcoe 40s making around 165 bhp

I'm now thinking of re-skinning both sides to enable another 15 yrs life, but wondering how much I need to budget for someone else to do this work?

Sounds like a candidate for the Plymouth-Dakar........

Nick, aye it all helps

I have a 1996 car which is starting to bubble on the lower edge of the side panels near the inward kink. How much of job is this to fix, not looking to re-skin as remainder of chassis appears fine?

Turning into Southern Water HQ around 8.30am this morning. Are you local? My dear other half eagle eyed as ever and happy to play the spot game

Mark, YHM

I ache after one of these. Top colour, optimum interior wood/leather choice, the best wheels and none of those infernal running boards. And only 47k with fsh. I am tempted to make myself bankrupt.........

Hi Mark, I like a bargain too but am quite soft really. Can I have 2nd dibs pls? Where are you based? McB

Nick, thanks we are sorted now.

Thanks guys but we are sorted now

Now only 2 gen entry tickets for Sun required

Hi there Ours is off the road this year but is also a xflow so I recognise the earthy bark. We heard you winding your way down the lanes for a while and wished we could have had our car out that day. Next year Go forth and frighten the hedgerows!

Nick, have you suffered any of this here?

3 tickets required for the Sunday please as my girls have woken up to the fact that it's a bit of a fashion show

Ooh nice sound. Almost as good as a xflow! 😳

You were in a G reg green xflow i think around midday. We were outside the George pub and gave you a thumbs up. Nice day for it

Nick - 996, 997 or other?

That looks like a cracking car with a really good spec. If I had that sort of money to spend I would snap this up. Just the right colour for me, engine bay almost as good as the outside! Good luck.

I would say that given a std xflow makes 135bhp that would make yours 145-155bhp.

Bongo bongo land? That's that mythical place UKIP deny exists.......

Out of interest what power does that engine produce?

Spotted by me at 11am trying to get through the barrier onto the airfield. Was that you also on the B3349 earlier southbound? I was in tin top about to have my gliding course present in a K13 - I was fine until we were thermalling and I felt my stomach start to go What a lovely day

Is there off street parking?
