Driving an Austin seven.

[Malcolm Parker]

Thanks for the kind offer, Dave.  I actually have one in stock that I had forgotten about!  I found it a few weeks ago whilst rummaging around for a head for the new engine that is soon to be installed in the Ulster rep.   In the end I have fitted a  wedged early head to that engine.  Early running on the test bed looks like it will be okay.
Since fitting the Ricardo head to the RL saloon its hill climbing in top gear has improved significantly and the whole engine runs smoother than before.
