I suppose someone some time is going to try a boat 2 stroke

I suppose someone some time is going to try a boat 2 stroke 

Already started looking into it.

[1973/126]

 How about two decent size scooter engines? One for each wheel

[Darrell]

You'd have to comply to the book on what a 126's emissions should be on your MOT test so two strokes alas would be out.

[Hazey-n-Marc]

I'm pretty sure they base the test on the engine. If they based it on the car then an electric conversion would fail as they would be unable to test it for emissions.

In Germany there was a small firm that bought 126 bodies in, and then installed a 2 cylinder, 250cc two stroke engine as used in the 250T goggomobil called the Fiat 126 "figo"
I think it was done because 16 year old's could drive any vehicle under 250cc. 126fan have rebuilt this one

My god!
That DKW sounds sweet.

And if the emissions goes on the engine then I can see boat engines landing in the back of Fiats!
