That's ok, Russ. I know you're kidding (and in case you're not, I know where
you live)! :-)
Seriously, though, it's scarier than that. This particular engine series,
which extends in design parameter all the way to the 2.5L TR6 motor, BTW, has
its most humble origins in the 803cc four-cylinder developed for the Standard
8, about 6-7 years before the Herald! Of course, there probably was some
development work in between....
