#1 Sad case of a lost engine

Post by hirstydg » Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:23 pm

My recently purchased 3.8 FHC lost its engine about 20 years ago. At that time a previous owner sent the engine to a specialist for repair, but the firm went bust and so he drove to their premises. The original engine could not be located, but he was offered an alternative 3.8 which is now fitted to the car. In the unlikely event that someone has the correct engine for my car (RA 7463-9) and could be persuaded to part with it I would be delighted to hear from you.

I'm in a simular situation my 3.8 engine (R8852-9) was removed in 1978 and replaced with a 4.2 series 1.5 engine (7E 11929-9) If I could locate my original engine I would be interested in returning my 4.2 engine back to the correct car.
