Another shot of it, I think this is the '68 Turin show....



It's quite small in the metal....

Never seen one before, but, from that rear view you can see its running a V engine with side draft carbs on a cross-ram manifold, so guess either a Ford or Chevy small block?

Possibly a Moon Equipment cross-ram manifold, as not many speed equipment companies were casting DCOE cross-ram's for the sbc.

Think it’s a Bizzarrini design (either fabricated or cast):

I thought that was one of these at first, let's see how long it takes to identify.

Ikenga GT MkIII

Interesting, and does look like its been fabricated rather than cast, which was probably easier to make up for such a small number. Carbs look flatter mounted as well compared to the Moon Equip cast manifold, which was probably necessary for their installation. Interesting they still have the ribbed Corvette script valve covers fitted

I'd forgotten that it was originally silver...

It is, though not sure what it's doing there as it's on the forecourt of a BMC/BL dealership.

To think that one of these was sacrificed to give us the Ikenga…
