I know it's a lenco but I have never seen a dipstick on one before, also the front unit with the breather pipes coming off it looks to be something new. Love the airbrush work, that really makes it, but I hate the black wheels...

I don't know anything about the lenco, but was speaking to Dan last night, so if he's around again later, I will ask him.

I'm the opposite, I love the black wheels, was even thinking of powder coating my old Aluma Stars satin black, that way I would have a choice of contrasting wheels

Dunc,
This car has been in the build for nearly 2 years, so don't think Dans gonna let it go some how... he also changed his mind half way through the build, as originally was going to run a blown hemi, but the rule change allowed him to go the TT route.

Now where did I put that spare £100k

Yep, that Lenco had me fooled as well...oil lines and a dipstick in the clutch end?

Not 100% Blue, but I think that is a Bruno Lenco that will have a cooler and a dipstick.
I think Mark should go the Lenco route if only there was one for sale

I often find, you have to work a lot harder with some of the older ones to get em moist, once there though

I wonder who that might be

Yea I did wonder if it was a Bruno, but I thought they were normally set up with a torque convertor? I really don't know much about lenco stuff, but I'd like to learn. Pete, I know what you mean, I really can't relate to this cutting edge stuff either, it's almost as if it's another form of motorsport entirely...
