Litton Corse build with 2.0l Lancia 8v TC

[MichaelEustace]

Leading contender for the longest build?
Great to hear it's making progress again.

Thanks Chris, really looking forward to getting the car completed - it's been a long time coming...

Here are some pics after the body chassis was painted and wheels and suspension fitted.

What a fantastic and interesting history. Your dad is a solid guy to hold on to his dream for so long AND to hopefully see it through to completion :-) Looking forward to the updates and completion. There's plenty of IVA help on the forum.

Thanks Cadami, I'm sure the IVA info on here will prove to be invaluable

Cheers, Michael

Whilst the engine was with Guy Croft, we fitted the car with a spare engine with a view to transporting the car to Lance Pritchard at OJZ Engineering in Lincoln for custom exhaust fabrication.

Pic of the rear of the car in Lance's workshop, my Dad is on the left, Lance on the right. Very pleased with the finished article.

Great to see another Corse emerging.
After ten years or more close to and around the Corse 'project' I have to say I don't think anyone knew or knows how many actually got manufactured and/or built into cars.
Good luck with the final stages.

Hello Michael,

Welcome, nice to see the car getting completed after all these years. I had a rifle through your FB gallery & the build looks very thorough with some interesting modifications/additions.

If I can start the IVA list with a couple of points-

1) Radius end on tail pipe
2) Emissions, how do you intend to approach this? Do you have a V5 doc that tallies to the new engine?

Regards

The general rule is build it to a minimum spec with no extras. Less to fail and do for the retest........

Thanks Cadami, yeah we're well aware there are a lots of requirements for the IVA. If anything, it would be good to pass first time simply because the closest test facility is now Norwich after Ipswich closed last year - bit of a trek to do twice.

Cheers, Michael
