It' pretty stiff, I guess it hasn't been used in anger for decades, but yes, working order. You can pick up any time, any day, call 07775 853875 to let me know when you're coming.
Here we have a complete Vintage Speed exhaust system. The muffler is new and unused, the other parts have covered about 3,000 miles. There is a fitting kit to assemble the exhaust, but not to fit it to the engine (I think).
It's the hidden tailpipe sport muffler. No dents or damage.

Someone who viewed the van today was surprised at how much "character" it has. I think he was looking for one to make straight and shiney TBH.

Hi Ozzie - Busy busy. Plans to see through and all that. Going to sell the bus next to fund finishing my superior late one ;) and another engine. I don't need two and it's the only way to move forwards...,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :D
Sorry Alistair, there has been constant interest in the engine since it was advertised. I spent 5 hours this morning answering PM's and phone calls and about the same last night!
Mine and jonboy's started out life the same by the same respected builder, around the same time, but I upped the oomph on mine with bigger valve heads, slightly bigger B&P's and the Dells. This made an enormous difference to the engine which I'd estimate would have been struggling to register...
