Mystery part 1 so far

Now Now, -it's the correct term! Abnormal would be supercharged or turbocharged - although now loads of car engines have turbos - so maybe that's the new normal!

Just pulling your leg...its often mentioned during F1 commentating.
Back to figuring out what James has built.

OK, sticking my neck out - v 12 engine for a Ferrari Testa Rossa - maybe 1958? Testarossa means 'redhead' in Italian, so that's a big clue!

Don't think it's a Testarossa. The original had 6 twin choke downdraft Webers with paired Ram Pipes. The offset nature of what I assume are meant to be carbs on the top of the model would exclude that particular engine. Unless, of course, it's just been badly represented.

James. My wife has these- It's her hair curlers!

[james pithouse]

One of you is correct, the of you are wrong, well done for guessing now two more pics to help out

[The Smythe Meister]

EASY..... It's a multi cylinder Engine :smiling3:...
..... And if I'm not mistaken,by using my highly toned intellect,I deduce that it's a rather powerful one
.....
There you go,no mystery really

Hope this pic helps to put these pics together

[Dave Ward]

It's the offset carbs that throw me - early Lamborghini?

Ferrari 250 GTO 3litre v12. My best guess.

Ferrari Enzo, probably Revell.

Wouldn't be a Caterham 105E Ford Anglia by any chance would it ... ?] (never really understood mechy things :sad-face: - unless they went 'Bang'!)
