I want a spare motor so i can build a turbo setup for it Yellow Convertible

I gave the little A12 a service the other night, and it looks like its starting to drink oil. Not good, but not unexpected either.

So i'm on the look out for another A12 or A14 as a replacement mot ...

That is my thought adequate power at a reasonable price; probably look at a front cut as it has all the bits we will need engine, computer wiring etc. I will be guided by Chris Dalton of Dalton Automo ...

Progress a small step forward, the engineer has given in principal approval for the 13B. Very Happy
