If you look at my previous posts, you will see the problem that have occurred.
I am going abroad for work for a while, and have no time to source and fit a replacement engine now.
I have considered storing it, but would much prefer to sell it as a rolling chassis, wanting only an engine.
I thought I had an engine sourced, but ti turned out to be a wild goose chase. And a second option has fallen through while waiting on the first option.
I am not going to strip this car for it's components. I have no space or time to do so. and it only requires a replacement engine to be back and running.
I know of 2 other V8s being broken simply for parts, one still available as a rolling chassis, but soon to be minus interior and transmission. (butchers!)
So here we have-
1990 3.6 V8
Aeros, with 225s good life in them
Engine missing- the block had 2 cracks, and I decided it was unrecoverable without serious engineering input. The block itself is now a coffee table, but all the other components are available.
Gearbox- Currently drained, waiting for a refill.
Bodywork- Silver, scuffed, and a few scratches. Bonnet needs a respray. Some rust issues below the trim on the drivers door.
Underneath, it seems absolutely solid.
Radiator frame/assembly has been butchered at the lower rad mounts
Exhaust- centre box has been cut out due to rot in the rear of the box. Cats are empty.
Otherswise, all the components are complete and available. History is very sparse.
I'd very much like for this to go to a good home/enthusiast. Any interest, please send a PM or contact email mark.hanman@yahoo.com

Ah, there he is 
Good to hear! You really give me a good reason why to set over to Sussex a second time and visit the Historic Dockyard another time - aaaah, I love your ships! Too bad they are out of order...

They are simply preserved as a reminder of the last time we successfully cooperated with the french navy.
Yes, it is good to hear. I was ready to buy another car, that was in better condition than mine, but lacking a cylinder head. Unfortunately, the owner decided to dismantle it! He didn't care, he inherited the car from his wife's dead uncle, or something like that.
So mine gets to live, and become a 4.2 instead.
