The engine has dynoed with around 315Ib/ft at 6000 rpm ( on a lovely progressive curve) and around 390 HP with the sense of more incremental gains as we fine tune. She's a monster and will imbue the cars with instantaneous thrust from lows revs and the same thrilling firepower when the rev limit is explored as the 3.8L engine - this time there's just more of it."

Here are the colors: Blue Blood with Spinneybeck PR32 Caramel Interior.
That leather is the same spec that I had 15 years ago in my Waco Biplane. Looks great.. Allan

Hello guys! I'm new on this forum and this topic makes me think it was worthwhile subscribing!

Matteuson, I just wanna say that the color combination combination you've chosen is really classy. When do you think your car will be ready?

Don't know what impresses me more, the color or the fact that you have the patience to wait so long to take delivery.
