Americans almost always think that "there is no substitute for cubic inches." The little Repco/Holden started out as a 2.2 litre six (132 cid), so it needed to breathe in order to make rpm and power. Those midget races must have sounded like a nest of angry wasps.

Among the furrin inline sixes, surely the various Jaguars and BMWs would hold our attention. Earlier, we might think of the Bentleys. There is nothing like them in American cars until quite recently.

God's Peace to you.
