The pleasure is entirely mine =F0=9F=98=8A. I see from the VTR facebook pag=
e today that Shawn Frank has commented a Vitesse (Sports 6) at Dripping Spr=
ings this year had a wet liner engine. Really? I had two and both had dry l=
iners with a siamesed block between cyls 3 and 4. Also, the car illustrated=
is in Lichfield Green yet the car has 2 litre badges on it from what I can=
see. If it is a 2 litre, I doubt it left the factory in that colour as it =
had long since been discontinued. Maybe a respray? Is it a 1600 or a 2 litr=
e. Who knows but it may be a bit of a =E2=80=98ringer=E2=80=99 for the unwa=
ry.

My response really concentrates on Dave=E2=80=99s last sentence and at the =
risk of a little verbosity (intended to clarify) this is how it often was f=
or North American spec cars built outside the US and classified as imports.=
Let=E2=80=99s take for example a car that would be the current model on 1st=
Jan 1970 and on sale in the destination market as at that date.
The Federal Bureau of Vehicle Safety Standards (or whatever it called itsel=
f in the days before the internet or mobile phones/faxes and when we still =
used carbon paper) would give overseas manufacturers selling cars in the US=
, an outline of the *likely* changes that would be current for the next mod=
el year. This info was usually made available to us by end January 1969 wit=
h the rider that they would not be final until authorised by the FBVSS in l=
ate June/early July 1969.
So the vehicle manufacturers went balls out to build/modify cars for the ne=
xt sales year with all the modifications the anticipated legislation would =
require =E2=80=93 including the wording, font size, whatever of sticky labe=
ls to be placed wherever. There was something of a frenzy is the emission r=
egs for California** were due to be tightened up even further and everyone =
crossed their legs and fingers that the current engine range would meet req=
uirements.
At mid-summer 1969, FBVSS would confirm specs for 1970. Sometimes, they del=
eted a requirement =E2=80=93 and sometimes pitched in a =E2=80=98naughty=E2=
=80=99 they hadn=E2=80=99t indicated earlier. Mixed sighs of relief and =E2=
=80=9Coh s**t=E2=80=9D moments.
Five models of each car are built to the 1970 spec and shipped (often airfr=
eighted) to the States for FBVSS evaluation and rubber-stamping so that the=
models can be sold next year. By now, we=E2=80=99re mid to end August 1969=
=2E If everything is OK=E2=80=99d or nodded through, everything goes beserk=
in Coventry to build and ship the cars required to be in the US for Jan 1,=
1970. Usually, the quantities were to meet a six week stock depth across t=
he US and to achieve this, often meant vehicle to all other world markets s=
topped. Then when it re-commenced, there were all the other changes those o=
ther 150 odd world markets wanted included as well. Then, for good measure,=
a few wildcards might get thrown in the works like a supplier strike or do=
ck workers strike and everything stopped. Then flat out again to clear the =
backlog.
I was having an informal chat some years ago with the late Mike Cook about =
this whole shenanigans and he confirmed that Detroit always got preferentia=
l treatment by receiving outline and confirmed specs for the next model yea=
r a good six months earlier than everyone else =E2=80=93 i.e. the imported =
stuff. Good capitalist protectionism=F0=9F=98=8A
To make matters worse, the standards for Detroit product and Joe Soap=E2=80=
=99s imported product were nearly always different inasmuch as the imports =
had a harder job to meet the specs in terms of what they were (i.e. we were=
expected to do more than Detroit) and six months less time in which to do =
it. Frankly, I think it=E2=80=99s amazing we ever sold anything at all and =
of all the European manufacturers who moaned and bellyached about the extra=
work, Volkswagen were the worst by far.

Does this vent placing in the filler neck let gas fumes escape into the tru=

Hello friends,
If you've followed any of the work on my '75 US specification TR6 you wi=

When reinstalling the fuel filler cap, which is the correct orientation? Hi=

Thanks in advance of your reply.
