Here is another copy from YouTube. Since the original show has not yet been broadcast, this copy may be removed at some point. :dontknow:

:whoa: This particular copy happens to be a mirror image video... the engine has the alternator on the right, the Spyder logo is reversed, etc! Must have something to do with the British host's insistence on driving on the wrong side of the road in the UK. This is one method of placing the steering wheel on the right hand side of the car! :rolling:

Yup, and he's torqueing the head nuts backwards...interesting to watch. The car was listed on Craigslist here in LA for a while, even though it supposedly sold at the end of the show.

They claimed it to be a Spyder, then there's the original, non-turbo engine in it. After "completely rebuilding the engine", it has a 140 in it. I guess after replacing all the push rod tube seals and oil pan gasket, they decided to replace the engine. Strange...but still fun to watch.

I think if you look closely the engine at the beginning it is a 140, with two primary carbs and cover plates where the secondaries go.

Yup, you're right. I was too busy looking at the cruise control.
