Matt George Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi guys,My friend's Spitfire has just had a major engine breakdown - apparently the block has cracked in more than one place, so bad that you can see the crank through it! Anyway, obviously a replacement unit is going to be required, so I thought I'd ask on here and see if anybody has one going spare for a reasonable price? Tried eBay, but not really much on there to be honest. If you think you can help, please email me on: matthew.george@classiccarweekly.co.ukCheers,Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2000 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The description of the £6k stage 3 engine seems alittle steep for the work carried out :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcester19 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have a 1500 engine that I have had at the back of the garage for a number of years - drop me a pm if you're interested and I will give you a call. I am in worcester (as the name suggests!!) but I don't know which part of the country you are in.CheersStephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
