BTW, in that same British V8 website, there is a Bug Eye with a 4 cyl BMW
engine in it if anyone is interested.

Had he not rescued this car from the muddy field, it would today be an even
larger rust pile. I'm amazed that he could do what he did considering the
"before" condition of the car---not to mention that there was no engine with
it. He did a real service to the car.

Hi Ron
Mine is a BN1 so would have had 90bhp standard. Also look at the before
photos on the British V8 website & you'll se why it has a non-standard motor

not being a smart ass but the BJ8 makes 150 stock and I believe over 200 HP
can be achieved.
