Thanks-I’ll follow up.  It contains diethyl ether.
I also found this so possible to do it yourself but fiddly

A flat configuration ---horizontal rods, but engine is vertical. Someone who wrote the add has verbal diarrhea, plagiarism at its best (revealing utter crap)

I do believe that AC built a flat six but its not in this car.

Surprised I don't see Subaru in engine bay. Lightbulb moment-,may be a good aftermarket swap or a lexus V8.

I thought the above car interesting. In particular the alloy head, does an alloy head confer many benefits?  Who made the heads and if only three, were they not very successful?

Hello

I noticed I am missing:

the toolkit in the trunk (Buckland)
Whatever is attached to the firewall on the passenger side (LHD US spec)
Whatever holds up the hood
There are also some clip sets on the firewall in the engine - maybe that’s where the hood “sticks” go? I see 2 sets

Any idea where I can get these ? eBay ? Anyone on here have any for sale? Reproductions?
