[British-cars] Series 1 Alpine 1492 cc

[John McEwen]

Hello everyone:

Like many of you, I haven't posted for a long time.  However, Rick's 
post this morning was really coincidental.  Yesterday I was asked to 
dispose of an Alpine Series 1 engine, along with a head and block for 
another.  The engine is a complete with head, valve cover etc.  Only 
the manifolds are missing.  It is still assembled and basically looks 
just as it came out of the car.  The other parts include a block, 
head and valve cover but they are disassembled.  There is also a set 
of gauges and miscellaneous other parts which I didn't check too 
closely.  I did take some pix of the engines.

Distance may be a problem (Edmonton, Alberta), but if your Series 1 
engine is blown and you want authenticity this will do.  I have no 
idea of the condition of the engine but it was removed for a later, 
modified engine so I suspect it will be ok.  I'm not sure whether the 
spare block and head is useful, but it's there too.

John
