From Seized engine to this in many not so easy steps.

More later on more-power. It's been a bit of a fight, finally I'm a happy man that owns a 1971 David Brown 880 Setect-o-matic that runs!





For those of you who havn't been following progress on more-power you'll find the photos here with some comments and blog posts here.

How do I leave comments on good, old and mostly British - it tells me anonymous comments are disabled - do I need to join?

ah, the DB's dbs! That sound is the absolut D's B's ;-)

No need to silence it just wear ear protectors.
Looks a bit newer than the one i've driven, but sounds pretty similar.

Probably, most likely and almost certainly the same 3-Cylinder 2.5L engine. DB used it in a lot of tractors, think they had a 4-Cylinder in the earliest ones.

Being as we are internet-less, this is the first time I've seen the blog in nearly 3 months. Have had great fun catching up on the SERT and now to find that the DB is up and running.-- Congratulations! Looking forward to the New Year and hearing it in person.

Splendid! Well done! But didn't David Brown design high-powered sports cars for Aston Martin? You must've put the bits together in the wrong order or something . . .

Nick,they didn't just make Aston Maritns, Sir David Brown owned Aston Martin, I refer you to the more power blog, here http://more-power.co.uk/blogs/andy/archive/2007/11/05/i-never-knew-that.aspx

Steve,

I'm sure you have a fine product there, but if you read the post and look at the video I think you find that the engine is amazingly and after not a little effort UNSIEZED...

Plus, if you take a little time to study the blog you'll find that we are in Norway, your web site states that you only ship to the US, that's a fat load of good to me.
