Some magnificent machinery there. Gotta love those bullet headlight covers on the Corvette.

I hope you hold the copyright.

Great snaps!

I love that Lotus Seven (or Six....or was it a clone?).
It has sort of a rat-rod appeal with the wire wheels in front only.
And what motor does it have, with the unusual manifolds?

If you mean the blue and white one, that's the original factory SR-2 (not a replica). It was amazing to see, and won best in show.

Since I put the copyright on the images, I don't think I'll have a problem.

It's an original Lotus 6. I'm not sure what engine he has in it but it appears to be an A-Series in the 1100-1300 range? Probably bored out to 1400 or so.

I don't think that's an A series in the Lotus VI, unless it has a very special head with the manifolds on the other side!

 

[Steve_S]

Could be a cross flow head.

 

[Bayless]

Probably a Ford.
