The original 1471cc block was useless for building a 1.9, and was
recycled years ago.  The original head and intake, as modified by
Drake, is still in the car.  I also appreciate the unique character of
the 75 model, as it was a bit closer to the aircooled cars I learned
to wrench on, but the later cars are *much* better platforms for
building a hotrod.

I have no plans to part with this vehicle.. just to keep improving it.

Thanks for the kind words,

Gordon
75 Mk I/Drake 1.9 8V
