A Peugeot automobile engine goes into a new German motorcycle design in the late 1970’s. The motorcycle engine ends up in a custom car sometime four decades later. [emoji23]

A few years back there was a svideo on You Tube of a guy in Africa who built a buggy with a K75 engine.  I can't tell if this one is an update of the one in the video or a completely new build.

About a year ago I sold a 50A alternator to a chap in New Zealand, Wellington, I believe, who had replaced the engine in an old Fiat with a K75 engine.  I will look to see if I still have the photo he sent me.

I had a few Fiat 600 in my native Argentina. I can say that the 750 brick engine is a marvel compared to the one I used to repair quite frequently.

Definitely the same one. Just compare the wheels, lights, exhausts and bar work.
Regards Martin.

Yeah, that's the one.  Gotta love the grin on the driver's face when he climbed out.   

What a friggin' sweet piece of barnyard engineering.   :clap: :2thumbup: :clap:

...and I mean that in the best way.
