thunder427, on topic posts are always welcomed on any thread by any poster! Too often, threads are totally derailed and hijacked, so if you have an observation about the base topic, I and many others would be keen to read it as that is what shapes our opinions and also the way forwards. Your original post was totally valid - but maybe on the safety thread instead of one about cars with non original engines?

Within our own series, we have had queries raised about "fake" Lotus Cortina engines for example, using modern components and this is seen as needing open discussion, when cars such as Jo' Hill's Triumph Herald Coupe V8 are specifically excluded from the Commission's rulings, as there is no category for them.
