512 BB’s are sh*t 
Nothing more than hopped up 308’s with the same issues as the 2 valve cars only you have 4 more cylinders to lug around 
Not worth the time or the money 
It was the testing ground for the TR

Here is an idea-


Factory F512M engine swapped and with some chassis updates to match.

Even a stock BB needs a real tire and the wheel rates revised for the bulk.

$224k isn’t that bad either for the work that was involved.

Assuming it all works together...

I have more fun at speed on Bauers than Michelins, and the former gives me a much better work out.  Everyone needs to find their individual passion.

Erik, the younger Listers still need the speed!

Lighter wheels, seats, battery and suspension could cut 200lbs really quickly.

Still have another 400 to go though on the BBs.

I no longer need to go that fast.

The Bentley gets driven more than the Ferraris do around here.

Yes, could be a fun ($$$) project.

And then, there are the chassis mods that would be needed.

Where would you cut the 800 lbs from?

I’m pretty sure with a few modern tricks, you can easily get 450 hp out of the engine and still make it look stock.

The BBi is a nice, comfortable but very heavy GT car.

The Koenig engine upgrades would be welcomed!

Has anyone ever driven a full spec conversion?

There is one on ebay that hasn’t sold in years...

I liked the boxer. In BBI trim.

I hope your not talking abut the stock boxer!  :-)

They looked dated when new.

It’s worth one bid more from the drunk guy in the back of the room than what the chandelier is willing to pay.
