Reden Quiz for car folks
Took my car for a rolling road tune-up today; the maestro said "You might want to look in the dyno-cell".


Anyone want to guess what exact model of car this motor comes from?


Think very, very expensive- so expensive that I could not hold the camera steady.

How about a Ferrari 250 GTO? It looks like one of those classic 1960s Ferrari V12s with big webers.

The GTO has 6 carburettors.

So maybe 250 GT SWB or 250 Spider California SWB?

Damn! Both correct. This motor is from a 250 GTO which is running around with a SWB engine (while the other one is being fixed up properly).

I'm giving up on asking clever questions about exotic cars, so: which single component of the "classic" Mini has caused more physical injuries, leading to loss of blood and cursing, than any other?

Pete -

Though I don't have an answer (never drove the original Mini) your phrasing of the question suggests it is something regarding interior ergonomics.

Having read this, I'm not sure that I explained it too well.... this is the temporary motor, which had been fitted while the "real motor" was being fixed; now that this temporary motor also needs fixing.... another one is in place.... and these SWB engines are about 200GBP each, you can multiply that by five for the GTO engine. No wonder I had some camera shake.

As for the Mini question........ it is a cheap part, not on the outside but not part of the interior either.

It must be some bracket around the manifold...
