I am looking for a tired or non running 1300 ('A' Series 1275cc) Marina engine and gearbox so I can make up the engine mountings for my Roadster. The original mountings had been removed by the original owner.
I do have an engine and gearbox in my other Marlin Roadster but can not touch them until the car has been inspected by DVLA as part of my application for a new V5c. That may take 6 weeks... I want to move on with the basic preparation of the hybrid chassis before the autumn weather and dark evenings close in. All my work has to be done outside because I have no garage.
Even a bare block and worn out/broken gearbox would do, I can access a head although I don't even need a head or sump to create the engine mountings.
Hoping somebody might have one under a bench or in a shed, having replaced it with something more powerful?
Even a borrow would do?
I have tried to join the 'Fast Marina' forum but after two days they haven't even acknowledged my application, or eMail enquiry.
