Wolseley Hornet at The Ridge LeMons race. Interesting twin-cam head conversion based on a BMW motorcycle 1200cc head and the "A-Series" block... not an exact matchup but with some machining actually worked... well sort of. Some additional sorting on the intake plenum is necessary.

Three Pedal Mafia, (a LeMons team) brought this 1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow to New Hampshire. They bought it for $1,000.00 and it came with a five volume manual set and an extensive paper trail. Donated as a "judgemobile" for the race, we all sampled the rough running rolls around the New Hampshire Motor Speedway paddock. Interestingly, the paperwork showed it was purchased by Peter Satori - the same dealer my father had rebuild an E-Type Jaguar head the following year.
