I've seen some interesting classics in my customers proposals for financing, but what I would give to see something half as young as this baby hereā¦ webbrowanhttp://financesmarter.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975760256715604872.post-43697883094562543912015-11-22T09:39:36.213+13:002015-11-22T09:39:36.213+13:00The article in the link states that the engine was...The article in the link states that the engine was a Rolls-Royce Schneider Trophy unit but that engine was a V12 and was what Campbell amongst other used for record breaking at Daytona in the mid 1930s. The Rolls-Royce engine that Campbell used was about 36 litres and made over 2,000 hp. The engine in the Enterprise, as can be seen in the photos, is a Napier Lion broad arrow 12 which was a WW1 design, of about 24 litres and in unsupercharged form for aircraft use only made about 500-600 hp. A special supercharged version supposedly made 1300-1400 hp but I can't see whether the Enterprise engine was a supercharged version. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
