Great pictures James.
At least one car looks familiar!

I would have been there, but for having just arrived back from the UK the day before.

Thank you for posting those pictures James.
I was so taken by admiring cars and catching up with friends (James, The Professor, and many others...) that I totally forgot to take any!

Good looking power plant, and the benz owners would be very familiar with the CIS-E fuel distributor!

Yes - K-Motronic with R-R tweaks. I had the fuel head rebuilt by Bosch in 2007 and the result is a very smooth motor with idle better than most Spirits. At the same time I also replaced the engine management module and was lucky to get a brand new original one for $400 from the UK - a chap who had bought one and no longer wanted it. I would hate to think what one would have to pay from Crewe Parts today...

PI engine.

PII engine.

PVI engine.

That engine has quite an interesting carburettor setup. Looks like quite an intricate updraft? I presume they were worried about fuel leaking into the engine block and bending a rod?

If you mean the PI and PII, these were Royce carburetors designed and made by Royce and reputed to be made with the precision of a Swiss watch. For the PII Continental (the last R-R Royce designed and supervised before he died) they switched to a proprietary carburetor. I'll need to find out more about this before I can give you a proper answer Bryce.

Best Spirit on the road Brian.
