Got my new engine....At last!!!

[our bus 68]

After having no engine in my van for over a year. I have finally got one

Recon 1641 twin port and all set up ready to go.

All I need now is time to fit it and then it's time for an MOT and we are back on the road at last!! 8)

Friendly and helpful people and a good price I thought.

1641cc engine £1195 + vat
Turn key service £195 + vat
Engine courier service £70
Plus a few replacement parts and tinware needed etc.

I paid around £1800 for everything.

They arranged a courier to collect old engine and all ancillaries. Shot blasted, acid dipped and repainted everything. All in less than a week. They will also fit the engine for free. However as I'm in Dorset it was going to cost around £500 for transporting my van there and back. So I'm doing it myself.

Happy days are here again!!!!

Is the ford classic a runner? They must be quite rare these days.

I was thinking the same, is that a Consul?

Sadly she doesn't run at the moment but is at some point going to be restored again.

I have owned her 23 years now. Bought as a wreck then restored, won a couple of trophys but now is in need of some cosmetic work again. Been off the road the last 12 years :shock:

A very rare car now being a goodwood green 1500 deluxe two door classic. Since owning her I have only ever seen two others identical. The idea was to restore her again in 2007 however I did the silly thing of buying an early bay!! :lol:
