It's an odd engine, the flywheel appears to bolt to the 'front' of the engine, where the timing is, yet the exhausts face the other way. I'd guess a lemans prototype powerplant from the 80's? Still has a distributor.

What the hell is that Honda/Mugen V8?

It basically was a prototype F1 engine made in the 80s for Forumla One. It was never used as far as I know.
Mugen was a racing company/tuner house started by Hirotoshi Honda. They made a bunch of stuff for Formula 3000 as well as Formula 1.

I was going to say maybe a Honda Indy V8 that was used up through 2011 (NA 3.5L V8) but ultimately that was Honda slapping their names on an Ilmor-designed engine; I don't think it ever had Mugen on the valvecovers.

Now that I dig up one of the above engines, definitely not - they were COP, no external wires.

Van is right on the line and it's the UK so the Ferrari is (probably) RHD.

Frankly, if I had an FF I'd be parking it all the way at the far end of the car park, away from everyone else and their peasant mobiles. :smug:

In all seriousness, I park my 944 at the far end of the car park because nobody gives a poo poo about whacking their doors into the adjacent vehicle when getting in. Two of my previous cars got dented because of that.

I found some old photos of Porsche meetings my dad attended in the early and late 1990s. He had the yellow 924 and dark blue 944.

In the pictures with the yellow one, some of those 944s weren't very old at all..

Yeah, mine's a 1990. 968 was produced from 1992 to 1995, making owning one a little bit of a pain I can only imagine with less spare parts floating about.
