And this is a what now?

[Steve Thomas]

Any idea what this is?

Yep, got a few of those sitting around.
The old school 2.5 and 3 hp vertical motors with the fuel tank mounted below the carby.

It came with the bits pf my most recent 80 and has been blowing my mind. It has the right colour paint on it as per the repaint done on the car by PPO to be part of the car. The obvious fuel pick up meant there was no way it was Also got a Ford thermostat housing, a 6 cylinder flywheel and clutch and 3 electric fans of various aftermarket types. All junk.

I've had similar experiences getting unrelated parts with a vehicle and wondering if they belong.
