Used a large angle grinder [:D] even then it was quite heavy going.We did that for the Register about 15 years ago, first time I've seen it since.It all works as well if you turn the engine over [:D]

And if anyone fancies a centre piece in their lounge I do have another one and an LT77 gearbox cut away [;)][:D]

Steve, a nicely sectioned, working V8 motor would look nice in my lounge [:)].
I could tell the Mrs that it's an educational toy for my 10 year old boy [:D] [:D].
Mmmm! [;)].

I tried my best to turn it - but I think after 15 years it's ceased now [:(]

Was a great addition to the stand, dont know why its not used more often .... may be something to do with the fact that despite being on casters its bloomin heavy! [:D]

Often wondered why they never used it at the international.I did offer the other one that I have to the Drivers Club but they didn't want it, probably for logistical reasons, as you say it is heavy and awkward.Might ebay it [:D]

Great display by TR Drivers Club yet again. Makes my own TR7 look like a poor relation. Why is it though that after spending all day Saturday at the show and thinking that I had seen all the cars, I go online and see pics of some cars (not TRs) that I didn't see. I guess next year I will have to spend 2 days there.
