Hi,
eight years later, what progress on the Austin Sheerline? The pics of the motor look very familiar: my Jensen has the same Austin DS5, though with three SUs instead of the single downdraft Zenith(?) on yours. Bill Spohn mentioned an advertised 130 hp for the Jensen. Less for mine because has only 6.8:1 compression: Britain still had the legacy of wartime gas in 1960, I think. Likely 95 hp for the Sheerline.
If you hear of a DS7 motor kicking around in Louisiana, let me know.
