Not seen a diesel, but Barry Clarke did have an A7 special at Beaulieu some years ago that had a Fiat OHV motor, apparently from a Balilla.

I am keen to see how a 3cyl Suzuki engine is placed in the A7. Is it possible to find more details? Thank you all.

Thought I'd posted a link to a previous thread on this before, but the link seems to broken once it's posted on here; so, search for a thread titled 'Not the tried and true method...?' on the old 'friends' forum.
