Never knew about it until today. Have a look for the Rover SD1 running a Meteor!
I'm sure it sounds a lot better there, with 12 short open pipes, than it ever did in a tank. But I suppose the tank crews are probably glad of that...
This is the GTR of the early 1900s 😆
on god this sounds like my damn pc if i start playing anything other than minecraft
Sweet as a nut. It's great when people take the time and trouble to preserve heritage in such good condition.
There are some for sale on ebay. Complete for just over $5k. Would be great boat engines. Need one for your pontoon?
Saw this puppy running at warbirds over Wanaka this year. Great noise!
What no sarcastic comments from dear wilbut finnegan aka soaring tractor? ?Surely he knows everything there is to know about this engine.
If I had that Jay leno would not have the only tank car. That is for sure
It seems to start a lot quicker than an aircraft engine. Just turn the key and hit the starter.

a lot less rotational mass without supercharger, reduction gear and prop attached.

Yes, you are right about that. But the aircraft version has to get the fuel from the carburettor to the cylinders via the supercharger and a much longer intake track and at cranking speed with the higher power camshaft profiles the fuel has further to travel and less (suction) to make it travel.
Hello, I also have a meteor, but magnets need to be overhauled, someone knows where to get new contact breaker and capacitors?
will that fit in a M G coupe ?
Were the Crankcase and Camshaft covers cast iron?
how was the engine kept cool with no prop or cooling fan during these demo runs?

Did u see these blue hoses? Normally they are used for coolant. I bet, they are used here for it too.

A prop wouldn't do much good on a water cooled Engine as they don't have the surface area to dissipate heat.

Once, I hit a girl in a bar. She said she only date a guy with Rolls Royce. So on saturday, I came to her house with a Centurion. It's a Rolls Royce powered tank, so it's still counted as Rolls Royce.
