Even the power of the base Marina engine would have been enough to flatten them in short order. The most obvious course would have been to use a dead Marina, the Allegro/ADO16 fwd version of the 1275 engine would have required far too much change to be viable. The wheels seem original, or close to original, suggesting the engine remained untuned. -- Last edit: 2022-06-27 08:10:22
