Could you let us know the complete weight of 5-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-II in running condition ready for the road, less passengers. This weight, I take it, you will have to take and specify for transport purposes,
I should also be glad to hear from you, how this car behaves during your run to London.
