Had a couple in Mk1 Escort rally cars followed up by a 1600 BDA..Just beautiful.
Probably the best Kent engine I had though was in a Caterham 7 works built car with a Holbay modded lump, dry sumped with steel bottom end. Revved to about 8,000!

I didn’t, was just a teenage boy racer The car was apparently owned by a car parts shop called Quick Bits immsmw They were based in Stapleford, Nottingham. Only third hand info from 30 years ago, so may be sellers BS. Was the real McCoy though. Wish still owned it.JurassicF wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 8:44 pmSorry to hijack OPs thread, but seem to recognise that car.DaddyDarren wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 6:16 pm This had a 1760 X-Flow in it...

Tony Hart at Quickbits supplied most of the parts for the Mk2 Escort I built up also an S plate. Pretty sure your old car was built at the same time by a local club member.
I couldn't get on with the Mk2 in the same way as the Mk1 so moved to a GpA Talbot Sumbeam Ti, which I felt was more like the Mk1 in its handling. Also had sponsorship from Castles in Leicester which helped do the RAC and some of the open championship.
Then came Peugeot 205 GTIs which in GpA form were at another level.
May post some old photos up, but on another thread.
Interestingly Tony Hart's daughter has just restarted Quickbits as a business.
