To be fair, if your eyes are bad and you have a good imagination, you can see the evolution:

Bugger, missed 2204 was going post my Civic CDTI, 2204cc of diesel power

Anyway, Rover 2200 engine 2205cc

What a beautiful piece of artwork. No CGI there, all ellipse guides, Frisk film and Aerograph.

Facelift 100 got the 2223 cc in line 5

The RAC Tourist Trophy, Silverstone 1987. A good race by all accounts, won by an M3.

Jacques Laffitte at 44 years was the oldest competitor, Nicola Larini at 23 years was the youngest (that would be considered positively geriatric these days).

Allowing for turbo equivalency the average engine size that day was 2224cc.

Desperate, I know.

DB5 chassis # 2225



DB5 chassis # 2226


Both listed at Bonhams - the red car sold for £58k in 2006, the silver one for £130k in 2008 - so £70k in it for a resto. Feels quite tight

British Leyland E-Series six, 2227cc

Can everyone back off when we get to 2226 so I can post a pic of my S4?

Yes Jim, it’s a SWB 250GT but not as we know it. Chassis no. 2231.

Owned in period by Adrian (son of Arthur) Conan Doyle. Adrian front-ended it near his Villa in Cannes in 1964. During the rebuild he decided to a dramatic nasal transformation on the 250. So,inspired by the early 60’s Ferrari F1 & Le Mans cars, it gained a pair of nostrils.

Some 30 years later a subsequent owner decided to return the car to original spec. On the balance I think that’s a shame….
