Hi Countrylad,
mine was a Kallista, 2.8 injected Ford with Sierra running gear, there were smaller engine versions too. The earlier Lima's did have Vauxhall engines and were prone to chassis failure, allegedly fixed on the Kallister . Bob

Bob, I had completely forgotten about the Kallista.

Had one of these in the mid 60s. Somebody had converted the column gear change to a floor change and it did not work very well. Did not realise the front wings were aluminium until someone hit me. Not my favourite car.

1800cc engine from 1946-1948 and 2000cc engine from 1948-1949.
Which one did you have?
