DB5 has triple carbs which need to be synchronized, which makes a tuneup

work to do right. Nearly as bad as an XK-E, but not in the same league
as the Lamborghinis. In part because there is actually enough room to
work inside the engine compartment of the DB5.

Could be worse -- could be an XK150. Getting the SU's to hum the same
tune wasn't all that difficult. The Austin-Healeys had two or three
depending.
