On Saturday I spent a lot of time driving a four litre Crossley 19.6, and quite bit of time driving my Ruby. In the Crossley gear changing is rather unusual, in the Ruby it is very frequent! Steep banks in South Wales often need going down to second when two up, but it keeps going. Are the cars mentioned above featuring SUs and hc heads running with specially set up bottom ends, or is there confidence that a bog standard engine will happily run with a hc head?
