I seem to remember a time when the TE/AE bash was at tiger tom's old house on knight drive. this was probably 30 years ago. one of these couldn't make it up the hill to the back of the house and I think TT pulled it up the hill with his old power wagon. I checked the dealer literature that I have for the 1967 sunbeam funwagon and it does not tell which engine was in it but it does say it cruises at 65 mph with 25 mpg. base cost was 4995.00.

I think all commers past 1965 got the 1725 but with the single carb, iron head option.
Probably made all of 80bhp.

Just putting an alpine config engine in would be a sure way to burn the motor up. That app needs the lower HP to keep the engine alive at the higher continuous loads that are needed to pull the vehicle along at 55mph.

Come on, Rocco. It is only 13 hours from Southampton. We could go on Saturday and bring it home on Sunday. I'm in, as long as the seller can wait until mid July.

Road Trip!

So you would get it if it was closer and you were not married. And probably if parts were not so hard to find. And you had the space to store it. And the time to work on it.

I think I have heard that several times over the years. I've even said it to myself a few times.
