Larry, Sandi & List,
The Midget you referred to, photos 1 & 2, has a Toyota 2TG engine. You're
write, it's a twin cam and twin carb, Mikuni side draft carbs. It's a
factory engine, not sold in the US, that puts out about 120 HP.
I have a very similar setup... a '62 Sprite with a Toyota 18RG @ 130 HP.
Having lots of fun...
Drew

Big show car wise. Not many vendors or parts. Everything from Roll's
to Land
Rovers. About 700 cars altogether. Not as many Spridgets as I had
hoped. For
those that are interested I have posted a picture of every Spridget
in
attendance on my web page under "Palo Alto 98".

Pictures #1 and #2 are a beautiful Midget with what looks to be an
overhead
cam or maybe a twin cam engine. Never found the owner to find out
exactly
what it was.
Pictures #10, 11, and 12 are of the best looking Bugeye in
attendance.
Gorgeous car.
The only list member I saw was Rick Walters with Puddles (center car
in
Picture #5). Fred Klampits was a no show (at least I could not find
his
car). I hope it was not because of car trouble.
Picture #14 is an Italian Sprite. I'm afraid I stuck my foot in my
mouth on
this one. Jokingly I said "What a waste of Bugeye's" and found out
later
that I was speaking to the owner. If you are on the Spridget list
just let
me say I was joking.
