Hi
Found this in Darwen today.
Spoke with the owner and he showed me the 2 engines he got with it, I think the one on the right was in it and the other a spare.
He has now put an OHV moggie in it and got a daytime ticket as he hasn't got any head lights at the moment.





Rick, he may contact you to register I gave him the website address.

Looks to me to be a "modified" series Y light van, offset engine to give the driver more leg room.......and the passenger none!! Laughing

Yes a Y Series van, quite a rarity now. One or two feature on the main site, eg:

Hi
Had another look at the engines.
They are both marked as replacements.
The LH one, marked as a Morris with a No A35435 looks like it may be from a SV Cowley or Oxford though it appears to have a sidedraft manifold.
The one on the right is marked BMC and No appears to be CA364AR it looks to be a 3 bearing engine with a grease nipple and pipe feed for these bearings.
