If I´m not mistaken, wasn´t there a phantom (or similar hull) rigged with a Rover V8 many moons ago? I remember seeing it at a race out of Hamble - it sounded great, but that was about it.

You can stop looking. I rather stupidly missed that one out of the box of tapes.
Also missed the one with the drag boats and the little cruise up and down Southampton Water in the Reefer. It was still in the VCR.
PM me your address Jon and I'll stick them in the post.

Mike Bellamy had an old style P23, with a 3.8 litre Jaguar straight six, driving through a LM surface drive.

Ah, that'll be why he seemed keen when I was looking for a marinising kit to put a 4.2 Jag engine into me first rib.
