Hi Guys

I'm posting this for a good friend.
He is restoring to new condition a early series 1 he needs a complete engine and all the auxiliary's that go on the engine.
He can pick it up from anywhere.
It doesn't have to be perfect or even running, that would be nice but, mostly it just needs to be fairly complete and rebuildable.

His contact info is as follows.
Name Ben
Phone # 250-710-7585
Vancouver Island BC

Thanks Victor

I have a 2.0L spreadbore block and some ancils, but not sure where you will find a 1.6. Got a good 4.0L V8 that would squeeze in it though.

Thanks but he wants to keep it original.

On another note ......only 3.5 months till the world famous "Van-Isle Land Rover Rally" takes place once again, stay tuned for details. (I cant wait.)

Talk soon Victor
