Diesel: Napier Deltic
Petrol: RR merlin

Although I’ll also take a well sorted Scania V8 any day of the week.

Stretching a point and combining some of the previous posts,

50 to 100 TVRs of various models in a tunnel is a great sound.

When you get them going in both directions through a tunnel the combined
sound is excellent.

Saw (& heard) Agostini on this at Olivers Mount years ago. The hairs on me neck still stand up when I just think about it.

mg midget 1500, stainless pipes, tunnel 🙂

not a massive fan of V8/10/12, much prefer slower reving egines.

Ford Escort RS 1800 BDA. Unbeatable, hearing it bark through the forests

Closely followed (aurally) by the Metro 6r4.

End of thread!

2 stoke scooter, you have to love the sewing machine sound.

But seriously, my 1972 MGB sounds very nice with the 4 cyclider engine and straight pipes. Or my friends old 5l v12 jag again with straight pipes sounded lovely untill he blew the head gasket.

I think this is one of the best sounding cars>

I 2nd the Napier Deltic – pluttery chuffing on the west highland line and Collared doves combine to make the unique sound of home.

I also like my transit TD at 50 mph, it sounds like a fire engine.

Hemi cuda….. one of the finest engines ever made
