Cool

Crane operator needs to shut up and listen for instructions those are other peoples body bits that get crushed

That's owned by the founder of Fleming Yachts, and the Journeys he takes her on are epic.

I would love to have a Fleming built boat one day.

I hope oil is flicking off the rockers.

Wow, that motor must have cost a fortune to rebuild, considering Gardner have long gone.

My dad built it. Zbig, he passed away 2 weeks ago. Do you still have it?

needed some air in the left rear tire. That would have helped.

Do you need a captain's license to own and drive that size of boat?

Venture. The most famous of all Fleming Yachts.

Well done !👏👏👏

Fine old English motor

The guy on the chain block should get a medal !!

Have these people lost the plot ??, drop the transmission in first then recouple it to the engine once in place, you can't put a quart in a pint pot, either that or drop the unit in at a steep angle so the gearbox drops in the space first and then slowly lower it down and juggle it about as it descends into the engine bay until you can get it on the engine mounts.

Where is the turbo?

Gardners made a pathetic attempt to turbocharge their engines, I drove a Foden 8wheeled 30tonne tipper with the 230bhp engine and 9speed Fuller gearbox, that vehicle was the worst thing I have ever driven either loaded or empty, it had no guts whatsoever on the flat and hills were a nightmare, I have never been so glad to see the back of a vehicle in all my life. When my boss told me he was replacing it with a new Volvo F7 with a 16speed gearbox I was not impressed because it only had a 7litre 230bhp engine against the Gardner 10litre. The difference between those two engines was incredible and once I got use to that gearbox that vehicle was brilliant and would go anywhere on or off road it's no wonder Gardner went bust.

Venture is Tony Fleming's yacht

Do you still own the Miata? My dad was a mechanic at Cardiac Cobra when they made these. I remember watching these being transformed :)

How about measuring and checking before the lift in? That’s what I always do... it sure makes things easier...

Wow, a Gardner in a Grand Banks 42! I always thought of Gardner diesels as the RR of marine engines and mostly for larger boats. Color me impressed.

Yeah, take the transmission off.

What brand and type of reversing gear is the Gardner coupled to?

I did my apprenticeship at Red and White buses back in the 1960s in Wales , built many 5 and 6 cylinder L W and 6 LX , still have fond memory's also had Leyland 600s and 680s. Always repairing cracked blocks.

Wow, I'm impressed! I have to do my 6LW into my 57ft yacht. Thanks for showing me how

What would you value this at? #6 is for sale, and I want it. What do you think a fair price is?

don't listen to these jealous douches, i always wanted a 302 in a miata. any idea on what 0-60, top speed and qtr. mile times are?

2.24 Oh fuck... lots....ha ha

Nasty valve tap ya got going there...

Nice! Cant wait to see your video.

the engine is a 6lx. the fuel pump is in the middle of the engine with the drive shaft for it visible where as the 6lw had the pump mounted directly onto the aft side of the crank case. you can see this clearer in the other video of it being installed

Boring

I doubt you even have a large trawler to put non-existent money into.

SLEEPAH!!!! love it :)

Cool Allan!

Thnaks!

I love this car!!

Nice!

LOL, I know what you mean XDDD

Imsorry... not sure I know what you mean...

to many chiefs not enough indians!

nice engine ugly car

The car was on the Island the entire time I had it. No air care here. That gave me the ability to loose tha cats The car originaly came from White Rock, and did have an Air Care Pass certificate. You should have no problem with todays slimmer cat units. If you want to go all out, just intsall electronic bye pass. She'll be loud... But Fun!!!

With you living in BC, how did you deal with aircare for this car? I'm interested in building one but I'm trying to find out what to do with getting it to pass.

@bboy4050 ,,if you don't like them then why are you here whining like a little child?
