1098 Engine

[JA40]

I have a 1098 engine for sale...........

12G295 head
Twin 1 1/4" SU's c/w ram pipes & ITG foam filters
LCB exhaust manifold
Alloy rocker cover
Electronic Dizzy
60 psi oil pressure
camshaft unknown
Can be heard/seen running

£400 for starters maybe...........

[JA40]

No takers whatsoever on this sale - so basic engine alone (no ancillaries) is now on offer at 150quid.

[Clive]

Have you tried it on eBay? That sort of engine usually fly on there. That head alone goes for £400 odd.

Whereabouts are you?

[Dave the rave]

Is it a 10CC or 10CG ?

[JA40]

Sorry about the late response guys - been in the garage all day!

Clive - we are in South Cheshire - Crewe/Nantwich

Dave - there is no tab on the engine block, but this is Mike Gahan's old car & Derek did state at the time
of sale, that it's a late Midget engine with 2" bearings (10CC)

Maybe I need to retract the latest offer I made..........

Jeff.

[Dave the rave]

Ok. They’re scarce Jeff, and desirable.

[JA40]

Sorry once again for the tardy response but..........
With apologies to Jesse (of The Fast Show) - 'Today I have mostly been marshalling on an auto test'.

Anyway, Clive many thanks for your '295' advice (I did find a few around the figure you suggested) & Dave, for your info.
Being more of a 1275 merchant, thought the '940' head was the dogs wotsits, that everyone wanted........
Therefore, I think I will just sit on it! (for now) Advert withdrawn.

Thanks again guys.

[Clive]

In the words of Del Boy,...."you know it makes sense"! That sounds a lovely engine, it deserves a good home!

Hi JA40. Just read your advert for the 1098 engine at £400. Do you still have it as the complete item with ancillaries. I have a 1963 countryman and am looking for a replacement unit . I’m in the Stockport area and a member of Farina club.
Regards, Alan.

[JA40]

Yes Alan, It is still in the car, but from next Thursday we will be away for a while.
We are in South Cheshire. Jeff.
