Interesting discussion on the SUs.
We have a 61 Warwick GT that is fitted with a period built TR3 Tunex Stage II
engine. This was the only Tunex 4 cylinder engine that was built for Warwick
Cars (Bernie Rogers Developments). They could barely afford the one. 8mm film
and photos of the original engine shows it with a pair of SU DU6 carbs.
When their racing campaign ended, the engine was de-tuned and installed into a
customer car (our car). As I understand it the only modification was to remove
the SU DU6 carbs and replace them with off the shelf TR3 carbs. I wish I was
the one to take them off - at least I would have a pair as they are impossible
to fine, and look wonderful.
