Dave and Sue Griffin have a lovely baby blue 1800s with a small turbo Nissan? engine in it.

They take it all over the place, including Zolder every year - very reliable, I'm told.
It was their orange Vixen that had the Nissan engine.

I am pretty sure I have seen a Ford 2.8 Cologne V6 in a Taimar at Zolder some time ago. Not sure why, surely you'd miss the torque?
