Alexander manifold pics:








Found this on a shelf at my local friendly car restorer - think it's a 1960s tune-up part for a Minx but not sure.

Minx will do,but would like the twin inlet manifold and separate exhaust manifold. Would love a twin choke webber inlet conversion but not holding my breath! must be for cast iron engine though as ports are different

Hi Jon, so will Minx do, or did Series II Rapier have slightly larger ports? Oh, and I guess it will need to be for twin carb on the inlet side - so might be Rapier specific? G.
