Thank you for the photo. Were there many of these prototype engines produced? I have only seen this engine mentioned in a type number list.

Correct me if I'm wrong, early models are by no means a specialty of mine. But I read somewhere that there were only a few of these prototypes were made, and they were dreadfully slow. Something like 0-60 in one minute. So they pulled the plug.
