[Fot] Now that's something I've never seen before. Sabrina motor carbs for a TR

[Spitfire Racing]

The Sabrina had casting porosity issues which today can be rectified. Back then it was a major issue and cost the works races.

Yes, those carbs are one of the few sets in the world so someone wisely snatched them up.

Agreed!  If nothing else, it would be nice to have just for its rare, historical significance.  But down through the years I have always wondered why the SABRINA engine never made it into their production cars.  They sure seemed to do their job on the race track, but there must have been issues why they never went into their normal production cars.

 

I wonder if Kas or Mike Cook has any take on that.
