This is the engine that was in the buggy when I bought it.  Used it for 2 years then a new engine came up that was too good to say no to and this one went onto the bench.  I always intended to keep it so that if I ever sold the buggy it could go back in and the 1776 could be sold separately as it is worth a bit.

As we are moving house soon I have decided to let it go.

It is an AD code 1600 twin port complete with clutch, fuel pump and filter adapter.
It ran well and always started first time
I cant feel any end float and have just turned it over and there is decent compression on all cylinders.
Only potential issue I know of is that it would sometimes smoke at start up when hot but only for the first few seconds.

No carb, no tinware or oil cooler as they went onto the new engine, no distributor (I have that in the shed somewhere if youu want to make an offer for it)

£450 or it goes on eBay in a week or so
Would prefer collection from Ipswich but if I can get a pallet and a courier could shift it that way, no idea of cost.

Oooh, pity that's not a wee bit closer to home.
Sure someone will snap that up soon.

Is it destined to be in a secret baja project?
Who needs prozac when you can drive a buggy?
