David,

Have you thought your project through?  Lots of customizations needed, =
custom brackets (engine, accessories, transmission, exhaust) , radiator, =
relocating accessories like Power steering, alternator, intake, exhaust, =
wiring changes, transmission, suspension, hood clearances, not to =
mention if you go EFI extras..

=20

Where are you located =E2=80=9Cgold hill=E2=80=9D is where??  I have a =
Gold Hill near me in Boulder County, Colorado.

Confess John, how many full throttle runs did you make on those runways =
with new cars on either side, and which models did you =
=E2=80=9Ctest=E2=80=9D??

Dave Northrup wanted to know if the former WW2 airfield I mentioned in =
my last post was still in existence and if so, does it have any =
particular use?

=20

The answer is Yes to both queries, but not as an airfield. The original =
WW2 hangars are still there and very much in use by various companies =
involved in distribution logistics. The former Royal Air Force Control =
Tower at the north end has long been converted into a private house.=20

=20

Attached (? Hopefully) is an aerial picture of the airfield layout as it =
used to be. When in use as a storage park for newly built Standard and =
Triumph cars, all three runways (still just visible in the pic) were =
used for storage with cars parked in two parallel lines down the runway =
centres with two further single lines on each runway edge. Mostly, they =
were parked by model and wherever possible by colour within each model =
group =E2=80=93 always assuming there was available space. This overall =
layout gave two free carriageways the full length of each runway for =
unobstructed vehicle movements in each direction. The runway intersects =
were obviously not used for vehicle parking.

=20

If you=E2=80=99ve ever wondered where the rust on your Triumph first =
started, you=E2=80=99re now looking at the location!
