I am surprised that it says 100/6. As far as I am aware only one works
100/6 was fitted with triple carbs and that was PMO 203 after its works
rallying career, when Bobby Parkes bought it from BMC in it in 1960.
They were 2" HD8 SUs. He told me that he didn't change the mecahical
spec. Since that car is widely believed to have been crashed and written
off (and there is still room for a little bit of doubt about that) it
would either mean a near-miracle that the car had survived and been
fouond or that just the carbs and manifold had.

Checking against a works build-list that I have for UJB 144 at Sebring
in 1960 and that again used triple HD8s, not HD6s. The spec is Special
Engine 290.

Interesting :-)
