Hello

I have come across an article on the internet describing two very special Austin 7 engines.

Around 1925 Col. Waite had an engine built using two Austin 7 engines for the popular 1500cc class at Brooklands. I wonder if anyone has any details or pictures of this engine and, if it was installed in a car, photos of the car.

The other engine was built, or at least being tested by, by Charles Goodacre in 1927. This was a 16 cylinder monster using four Austin 7 blocks on a common crankcase. This was being built for the navy. Are they any pics or information about this engine?

Thank you in advance

Carl
