Dutton - less

[Lowflyer]

I sold my old Dutton last week.
It was never being used, so time to go

For the purists -- Ford crossflow 1600 engine, stage 2 head, twin 4o webbers running off a red top pump

Built all by myself over 6 months

Time to move on, have more space on my garage now, waiting for a new project

Very nice ! (I've got something interesting sitting in a trailer if your looking for a new project ? )

Very nice John, I'm sure you'll find something to replace it. I put a 1600 crossflow into my Escort van many years ago, it was a hoot but would have been better with those Webers

Tbh Bob, the thing was a missile, but not as quick if I had put a bike engine in it, but then it would have retracted from the Dutton marque.
I was happy with the cross flow, had a rover v8 ready to plonk in but space was tight. If you notice in my pic, the distance between the brake reservoir and the nearest weber trumpet was, well a baa hair
My do nuts remained on the school car park for quite a few years

Probably 'cause pic's can't be sent in pm's ?
Here it is at Brighton speed trials and again at Shelsey Walsh. not for the road obviously, CBR600 fully race tuned. Track only though ! (trailer included !)

Hi Nick,

I thought it might have been your dad's motor .
Tbh not many tracks up here, the very odd hill climb and that's about it
Mostly rallying up here.
Looks well sorted but not for me I'm afraid, sorry.
