[TR] Exhaust notes (off topic?)

[Don Spence]

Alan
  Many years back there was a crated merlin engine in the possession  
of a local shop. Big plans were in evidence but I don't think  
anything came of them. I do recall seeing pictures of an Opel GT  
modded to accept a merlin. Couldn't find those pics but include the  
following for your entertainment.
  Cheers
Don
