In the movie clips, there's a 2nd filler cap on the bonnet, any idea what that is for?

one tank for each side of the engine.
1x Tank = 3 cylinders

Hi the second filler car was apparently to mount a camera.
There is only one tank - and it is complicated as it has to fit round the two recessed head lamps.



Engine is a Corvair - Reverse rotation - Re bored with Large valves and ported - pushing out around 170 hp

Can you up load video clips on this site ?

Hi Martin,

Re- video clips - not directly as such am afraid But can certainly include links to youtube/vimeo etc.

PS hate to think what the range is with that tank and engine! 

Please do not take my comments too seriously 


I'm just jealous

PS if you wanna join us tomorrow I'll stick a spare can in my car filled with petrol for you...

Hi
No problem with comments !!!
It is juicy with fuel !!!
But the 'real' car never did more than a few miles at a time. It looks great but it is very impractical.
Once you are in it and driving around - the issues of getting in and out and the fuel fade away.

By the way this car has front vented discs - want to change them for Drums - If anyone knows of someone that has a set of front drums with chevy pat wheel nuts -  I would be willing to do a direct swop.

Wow! that looks like a standard tank, with a large amount of fuel space missing, do you know what
the Corvair's range is with this?

Just incase anyone wasn't aware of the heritage the "Thomas Crown" buggy....

Here's a mr McQueen talking about it:

Just a shame about the audio in that video. The engine sound is not a Corvair, its from some race car.

Peter, I reckon that tanks gonna hold about 2 gallons tops.

30 - 40 miles if you are lucky....

  that is fit .........
