Stolen from Ian English FB page

Does anyone know details about this marvelous creation. The photos look recent?

I'd say it was from the Continent, given the Krober rev counter, not many outfits over here fit those.

I wonder what size it is, those only look like Kart wheels/Tyres on the front

Definitely not one of mine. The tyres do look like they could be the same (6 wheel Tyrell) 10" that we used, but we could only afford three! And the monocoque frame was too advanced for me to try.

A lot of billet parts there, I would think it was a "one off" given the 3 cylinders & being disc valve?

Thanks, Dick, I tried to be a bit different. Think I managed to get away from it before it became ruinously expensive!

Ok, saw the same motor posted on face book and apparently built by Alain Zurcher?

Ta, that is a sweet outfit, still think they are Kart wheels on the front especially as they are Vega tyres which are well known in Karting

I hadn't seen that particular pic, someone posted up an engine only pic in their timeline but didn't give any other details
