elansprint72 Posted June 21, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) After W.O. Bentley left Roll Royce employment he went to Lagonda, designed this V12 engine and had a class win at Le Mans. Talking to the driver, we discovered that we live less than half a mile apart.

elansprint72 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted June 21, 2007 His tax disk is out of date Maybe that's why he hides it by shutting the bonnet too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted June 21, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 21, 2007 Great picture and a fantastic engine. I'm feeling my age - that's the first time in a long time I've looked at a car engine and recognised the components :-) LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the other side of this particular bonnet and you get all the same things again on that side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctb Posted June 21, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 21, 2007 Ah but W.O never intended it to run with K&N pancake filters, Lovely engine, bet it sounded like a mechanical symphony. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the other side of this particular bonnet and you get all the same things again on that side. Bloody fantastic, is all I have to say. Better than opening the bonnet on my Ford Focus and having what looks like a suitcase in the engine compartment :-) LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it used twin SUs Tony, There are another two carbs round the other side, this really is a mirrored engine. Brain cells are failing.... but I think the SU was a solution to a failing in the designed-in carburation. Thanks for commenting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
