A little quiz for you car buffs:
Back in 1975 I had two cars, with a combined age of 22 years. They both had technically interesting engines, renowned for their smoothness [and power in the bigger one]. Both cars were designed and made in Europe.
Between them, they had:
Eleven cylinders
Sixteen valves
One camshaft
One oil pump
Two distributors
Three contact breakers
Two inlet manifolds
Three carburettors
Three exhaust manifolds
Four drum brakes
Four disc brakes
Both engines were in the cars for which they were designed. The smaller engine was later replaced by a very different one, and the larger engine was also used for a different car.
What cars were they?
