He was one of the original members. He did a piece years ago for a magazine  .... I have a copy of it somewhere.

I loved my LPG Senator 3.0  24V with a Will Reeve chip done 260,000 miles but it rotted  away☹️😞

 Ian still owns the said LC
Still in ABS but has not been active for a long time due to work and his Retro Rides involvment

I know someone who had a "spare" LC engine until a few short years ago, and he sold it stupidly cheap to get it out of the way .  I think he still has a brand new crankshaft for one.

That's strange.  Do not know in my ignorance if it has got anything to do with a LC engine, but:

In the latest Autobahnstormers mag there is an advert for a LS2, 6 litre V8 engine.  Came out of a Monero shortly after being fitted in it, that was then written off!

Price,£5,000 O.V.N.

For anyone interested there are contact numbers.

you can fit a V8 in carltons and sennys ,people have many times 
and as Omega is a similar size and layout, you can fit a V8 in an omega too
there was one at the Brackley meet with an LS1 in

But how could you ever work on the engine after doing that?

It is bad enough with a V6!

I have a photo of a prototype Omega V8 that they almost introduced, but what a squeeze!!

Not forgetting the one off lotus senator created by one of the Autobahnstormer squad That’s the one I’d like and fit a couple of today’s trick turbos to it, blow the V8 into the weeds
