Default 75 HP Bristol engine.
Geoff,
You could well be right, however my workshop manual for the 85A engine and
gearbox clearly shows an engine with three SU`s and quotes 80 BHP at 4200
rpm. The instruction manual (the book supplied with the car) quotes power
output figures at 4500 rpm which are 5 BHP higher. Early marketing speak??
