Flying 20 V eight

[gerryb]

Hi to all,

I am interested to learn of surving 20hp V8's as I remember seeing one back in the late 60's in a garage in North Yorkshire, I know they were produced in very limited numbers and that survivors are rare, but I am guessing the one I saw probably survived into preservtion especially as the guy that owned it new it was rare.

I have seen elsewhere on the site an image taken in 1970, of a green 20hp with a "DT" (sheffield issue) number plate is this the same car?

BTW the one I saw was off the road due to an engine problem, the engine was sat below a shop bench, and I seem to feel it had been there for quite some time.

Regards

Gerry

The DT registered car survives and lives in North Yorks, though it is not on the road presently. That is undoubtablt the one you have seen

There is also an article on the V8 engined Raymopnd Mays here
