Thank you for the clarification Rusty, although I did understand what you meant in your original post.

I take it that the 'junk formula' (which I may have mistakenly assumed refered to production or salon type cars) was what Oldfield ran his V16 Marmon engined special under in 1937. I believe this was a car he built himself and was largely inspired by the Auto Unions that had been run by the German team in the US in '35 or '36.

But never mind - I intend to run with this project regardless and hope you will all be around to offer your advice. I am very glad that I have found this forum - the attitude and knowledge I have seen here are amongst the best I have found on the net, and you can all be justifiably proud of your involvment in it.

Cheers
