the last time I saw DO was around 1980 and was sure it was Ferrari power and was told I was wrong in the trivea section
Enrie might as well as had his motors bolted in with wing nuts.
Im pretty sure the ferrari in do was a 1500 cc unit.
This same engine was installed in the hydro norman i owned to do a run.
As bob said do had several engines and combinations.
Im pretty sure he ran a v8 sixty as a 5 cylinder with up turned pistons to fit into another class.
He was always experimenting.
His ventnor styled wasp had a lincoln v12 in it at one stage even though it done most of its racing with a flat head v8.

Hi tommo. I'm the other guy that's been in touch with him about the motor in his pics. There's a possibility that Cyril Robinson from the vintage speedway movement might know about the motor. I'm away at the moment and will try to track him down when I get back home.

Someone else needs hand driving their skiff in Germany Bob noting the time of your last post, hope you can get your crumpets peanut butter and tomatoes mate?

Im pretty sure the guy you are chasing about that twin cam is bob lewis. No relation to the boat family.
He is a self proclaimed grey motor historian and is acitevly chasing any type of grey motor variant.
Cyril robinson lives down the road from me. He has a complete running injected dunstan grey.
