That's a cool thing

 

This is the GN, very close to finished.

 

There's a youtube video or 2 of it.

 

how about this Vincent powered Morgan?

 

Wow that's cool!

 

Did someone mention Morgan deliveries?

 

I don't want to get sideways with the dierection of the site or this thread.

Fiat Ballia

 

I am getting desperate. I am trying to help a friend gain information on a small car, not really a micro car. Those that follow this thread are very tuned in to weird and this fits the bill. The car is called a U.S. Long Distance built in 1901 and 02 and is about the size of a Brush. They had one or two cylinder engines depending on model. I have pictures of one at Hershey show years ago, it was dark green. I was able to find the owner at that time but it was sold to an unknown person years ago. An '01 has a tiller, the '02 has a steering wheel. I have gotten all the information I can from AACA library. I need any pictures or anything you may have. Thank you in advance.

 

Wowey Zowey, that is what I was looking for. I have not seen any of this information before. I was at AACA library this morning and found some old copies of articles but nothing this clear. I found they were built in 1901'02'03 then sold to Standard Motor Co. There were 5 models, A,B,C,D, and E with one, two, and three cylinder water cooled engines. All had the same ch***is and there was a cute little C cab panel van. One paper said they could be had with a wood body or aluminum. Thanks Timberwolf01, this will help the project a lot. We may even be able to track down this ca if it's still in N.J.

 

And after 100 years of progress electric cars still only go 125 miles on a charge!! LOL

 

sad but true. I'm waiting for plasma drive.

My, My, My, , To good to be true, must be a scam

 

Must have 4 valves per cyl. 16 exhaust pipes. Wow.

 

Here's a 1934 Raleigh Safety Seven Tourer 742cc V-Twin. B.K. pics

 

Not a really pretty car is it?

 

You know, I think if it had 2 wheels and fenders it would look very nice. Like an MG. It just looks strange.

I know I should post this in the cl***ifieds...We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful Morgan Super Sport. It was first registered in December 1936. It has the correct 3 speed gearbox with reverse, Matchless MX4 Overhead valve water cooled 1100cc engine, a fantastic patina and a Truly amazing history. It has been owned by the late owner since 1965, having been his first ever car, it was overhauled by our selves approximately 8 years having the engine and gearbox rebuilt and hydraulic brakes fitted, unfortunately it has had very little use since. It runs and drives just as it should and it's now ready for it's second owner in almost 60 years. Priced at current market value £27,500. Please call me. Ewan Cameron 07815 119447 or ewan@cameronracingengines.com

 

That's the one to have, good price too.
