I think the later cars, 550, 575 and 599 etc, all had red cam box covers. Wilson 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mute-on Posted July 21, 2021 Share #15663 Posted July 21, 2021 Wilson, correct on one count only. Cam covers are an indicator… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 21, 2021 Share #15664 Posted July 21, 2021 It is obviously not a modern engine as they all use coil packs for each plug. I wonder if it might be the Toyota 1GZ-FE 5.0 V12 used at one time in their Century limousine but also in various Japanese hot rods. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted July 21, 2021 Share #15665 Posted July 21, 2021 For a moment I thought we were looking at a 1980's BMW M1 motor, but upon checking further concluded it's not..............I'm however sure it's not a Ferrari engine. Motors with the cam boxes being an entirely integral part of the cylinder head with 'flat' covers and hemi combustion chambers are rather rare - I thought Alfa-Romeo-Autodelta but they cast their names into the covers. Could it be we're looking at something English ? JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 21, 2021 Share #15666 Posted July 21, 2021 John, I had thought of the BMW origin 4 cam V12 engine as used in the McLaren F1 but I have changed plugs on one of those and the plugs sit under a cover bridging the two cam boxes of the DOHC heads not poking out of a flat cam cover like on the mystery car. It is not a Maserati MC12 unit as those have blue and silver cam covers. It is not the Mercedes origin V12 in the Pagani cars, as they splash the Pagani name all over them. It is not a Jaguar V12, which having had a couple of those in a Sovereign saloon and E-type, I know quite well. That does not leave a lot. I can't really remember what a Bugatti EB110 engine looks like but I seem to recall two separate cam boxes and it had 4 IHI turbos as well. That does not leave a lot of V12 engines left.

Taken in tight quarters in Maling Rd, Canterbury. The model is specific as to number of valves, IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
