Pretty old Tasmin +2 on the dyno

[SporttiJanne]

Here is a video I made about my latest - not so pretty - Wedge:

It is a known here from the classified section not so long ago. I believe there are not too many older +2 Tasmins, than this one. More details of the history of this Tasmin would be nice to hear...

Hi mate..Thats got to be one of the most chilled Dyno videos i have ever seen...
Not bad power for a car of that age....Ziga

Thanks Mark!

Yes, a relaxed session. No bangs, sparks or flames ;(

I am considering different approaches, what to do with this one... Keep it original or not?

Here is a comparison of some of my standard 2.8 Wedges. My other FHC (5382) was worse.

I think you should do whatever you see fit to it..Restoring it to original condition would be nice...I notice in the video that there is more steam/Smoke coming out of the passenger side exhaust than the right...I noticed this on mine once and it was realised that i was running only 5 cylinders...My fuelling was also high...Just a thought.....Cheers...Ziga

You're the fourth PHer to own her. Hope she's happy there.

She's loud, heaven knows how my kids used to sleep when I drove her

Might be a little "rough round the edges" but still looks like a nice car.

Always good to see a wedge being enjoyed.

All Wedges are 'pretty' good looking.. regardless of condition.

Nice video.

Thanks for comments and photo link!
Keep them coming, if you know more.

I wonder why the date of first registration shows January 1982, and this is built October 1980.
Does this mean, they were not selling too well at that time?

What a great video........I felt as though I needed to spark up a hamlet and chill out
