Wonder if there was a tuning company in South Africa who did the engine conversion? It must be the only crossflow with injectors and turbo. Certainly a different route to power as most Crssflow 1600s go down the usual stage 3 head, high lift cam,tubular exhaust and twin 40 or 45 dcoe side draught webers.

Strut tops look too small for the holes in the inner wing???
Looks like a nice project,nowt wrong with a more door escort.
There are a few x/flow turbos on you tube..
