Hi ya got the bug, just bought another 2 litre saloon this one in some disrepair, but with lots of new bits on engine and body panels in great nick and ash frame pretty good in the main. Will put a link on to some pics of it shortly.  Reg TPC834 Chassis EL1750 U Engine MB1731w, Its not listed on the register and has been off road for a long time. It has got is old style V% so will need to get it re registered with DVLA (that will joy I am sure). Now got to get it collected from Aberystwyth. I think as the interior is shot this may not be a project more in line with being turned into a race style alloy panelled and etc etc But I will see.
   
   I note from the 2 Litre register the engine was originally listed as originally being in a Buckland EL1730.
   
   What does the W suffix mean on the engine number?
   
   How do I get hold of the 2 litre register man? So it can be added to his list.

   Cheers let me know any comments.  G

Does anyone know if such a thing exists.  I do have the original red general instructions books which is very useful. However, it does not give things like torque settings etc.
   
   Also would like to know what the compression should be on a 2 litre 1949 engine fitted with 7.5 pistons.

Hi Ya
   
   Anyone going to Brooklands tomorrow?

Hi has any fitted the 'Powerspark' electronic ignition module that replaces the points. I am thinking of doing so, but just wondered if any improvement apart from the obvious re no points burning out.

Hi Just a quick note and some pics, we have just come back from a very nice trip 400 mile to and around the Somme area, and stayed at a lovey cottage which I can thoroughly recommend to anyone going to the Baie de Somme for a break at Saint Valery sur Somme, at lovely town with a great deal of history. There is also a lovely old steam train from St Val to Crotoy and Crayeux. Any way the 'Old Girl' performed faultlessly and was much admired by all who saw her. Even the German chap with a fake snake that did not know AC made other cars than the Cobra!!!!! e is now wiser. Not sure if the link works or not but here goes.  Gary

Hi has any fitted a towbar for a small trailer to a 2 litre saloon. If so how does the car handle and was a supplied towbar or a fabricated one.

HI just what are the 2 silencer things by the manifold and are they effective or restrictive?
   
   Cheers  Gary

Hi  Just though I'd introduce my self. I am new to AC Mk11 2 litre ownership, love the car.  I live in kent so any local members let me know. I intend to go to Goodwood sprint, to spectate, not race. Will take the ol girl.
