If you could do it would be much appreciated.
I am probably looking towards the bottom end of the market though. Probably condition F going by some of the prices I have seen ;D.
To be honest I don't mind the distance that much but once it gets over 250 mile with a trailer you end up struggling to do it in a single day which is the biggest problem.
Just got a quote for transporting that top 15/50 from Redruth to my house. 450 mile one way, £280 8-)seems a bit of a bargain. It would cost me nearly 200 quid in diesel.

I am after one as a present for my dad . He has always wanted a 15/50 (I had thought it was a 15/60 he liked but my mistake). Looking for one that maybe needs a bit of work but not too much. Any welding needed I will do and then I will leave him the mechanical work to tinker with  . Might try to convince him to make it go a bit better but I think he will be happy with it as standard. I am hoping to get one before Xmas as a surprise for him but I`ve probably left it too late. |

Yes, I had considered a later B series engine. And the suspension set up seems a decent starting point from what I can gather, wishbone and coil front and leaf rear. Then just need to see what possibility there would be to upgrade the brakes.
Need to buy one first though ;D

Sure. You and Rich can fight for it if you want. He's a big lad but could probably be brought down with a few firm kicks in the gonads ;D ;D ;D I don't actually know anything about the engine as i never got around to fitting it but it came out of a written off kit car so logic says it must have been running when it hit something. |

If you can give me a couple of days I may be able to sort something. I looked at one ages ago and i'll take a trip and see if it's still there if you like? Needs a fair amount of work as I remember, but it should be less than £350.... Any good? *edit* it was a 15/50, and its about 140 miles from Durham |

Thanks very much for the offer, its very much appreciated. I think if I do find a 15/50 it will be quite awhile before the engine gets swapped (and thats if I can convince my dad he needs more power ) I will leave it for Seth if you don't mind. He will probably have a use for it before me |

Might have the possibility of one in SW wales. £400 with loads of spares including gearboxs and suspension. But its "a bit rough" to use the sellers description. Just waiting of some photos at the minute. 700 mile round trip though.  Shame none of the company cars have a tow bar otherwise I would fit it in with a visit to Corus Port Talbot |
