Hi Joe,
I could be interested in your TR2 block and any other drive train bits that=
go with it.
I have the very sad hulk of TS 1037LO (TR2 long door square tail lights) in=
cluding the frame, very rough body panels, and a few random bits.=C2=A0 I d=
o not have the tub or drive train.=C2=A0 I have records indicating that the=
engine was TS 1233E.=C2=A0 My step-dad took possession of this car in 1992=
as well as a complete but disassembled slightly newer TR2 TS 3381LO (long =
door).=C2=A0 The older car was obviously considered beyond restoration and =
most of the parts were sold by a previous owner.=C2=A0 Our purchase include=
d very little of the older car but a year later we answered a classified ad=
d that turned out to be the rest of our car!=C2=A0 Except that the drive tr=
ain had been "sold to some guy in California".=C2=A0 Last year I decided to=
start a search for the missing drive train and actually found it.=C2=A0 It=
's been rebuilt and put into the beautifully restored very early TR2 TS 281=
L.=C2=A0 It's a well known "olive" yellow car with kind of an odd raspberry=
colored interior, it's been in magazines so you may have seen it.
Needless to say I don't expect to ever be able to reunite the car with the =
drive train so I've been expecting to use a TR3 donor to complete my TS 103=
7LO... but your TS 1362E engine would be even better as it's only 129 units=
later than my lost engine.
Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in selling it.=C2=A0 =
I replied all as I thought some of you folks might enjoy the story.=C2=A0 I=
've also traced the lineage of the newer TR2, I've found 4 previous owners =
back to 1962 including a guy who said he learned to drive in the car as a t=
eenager in the 60's.=C2=A0 I also found the guy that started restoring it i=
n the 80's and had to break the news to him that zero progress has been mad=
e on it since then... but I have ambitious plans!

Thanks all, for the kind responses. Always something to learn.
We could make this block available, if it had any importance to a hobbyist.=
We have no need for it.
Thanks,
