I've never seen a picture but I read a description on the mini_list. Aparently
they were about the size of a complete mini engine block!

And for those that don't like SU's, I've found that they all have worn out
throttle shafts which makes tuning them impossible due to air leaking in
through the gap. You have to replace the throttle shaft and put bushes in the
body and then they should be a lot better.
