I was given a nice assortment of Triumph Vitesse bits recently. In the
box of carbs were a pair of CD175-2 Strombergs (usual Vitesse ones are
CD150s).
I'll stick them on Ebay, but it would help to know what they're off. Any
ideas?
They have red labels on saying "emission control systems". Does that
imply US spec?

As usual, any info gratefully received.

For the process of elimination, they're not Vauxhall Firenza / Magnum, some
of which used the Stromberg 175CD carbs.

Rover V8?
SD1's and Rangerovers have both used them, as have volvo's (mainly single
though).

Ah, Stag had been one of my first thoughts.

The next being the US spec, emissions strangled version of the TR5 - TR250?

They'd be back to back though wouldn't they? The linkage on these as
them side by side.

Good point, I've found a mention of some Volvos with twin 175s, before
they started fitting fuel injection. Can't find any photos though.

Thanks everyone so far.

No - the pic shows they'd have been fitted to an inline engine.

Google offers plenty of likelies which used 175CDs - US-MGB, US-TR7,
Ovlovs, 2.6 Landies and more - so, depending on spec, they could be off
damn near *anything*...

As further elimination you can discount Saab 99 and 900 as the 175 was only
used in single form, the twin carb ones used 150s although using the twin
carb manifold with 175's is a commom upgrade (which I guess is what could be
happening here, what ever the vehicle)

Saab 900 lpt se

The message
from Willy Eckerslyke contains these words:

Some Lotus Elans (S4 with a hump in the bonnet) and +2s used a pair of
Zenith-Stromberg carbs.

According to the workshop manual these were 175 CD 2S or 2SE. The S is
the non-emisson and the SE Exhaust Emission. No idea if the lack of SE
in the query is significant.
