Gordon R Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Built this Dutton Sierra at the end of the 1980s. It had four engines, including a 1.6 Pinto Ford Capri engine, a Fiat Supermirafiori twin cam 2.0 and a couple of quicker 2.0 Pintos, with 3.0 Webber carb. Quite nippy, but tail happy. Did a 360 degrees, in the wet, on a motorway roundabout. Got rid, because the driving position was slightly cramped and had a knee problem after dropping a 2.0 engine on my knee. Wish I still had the GSDs - great dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 It is still kicking about? There are a couple of lightweights in the area. I've got a series 3 109 and a defender at the moment, was going to rebuild the 109 but i'm selling it to fund a different project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
