Engine spotted on ebay...

Post by geoberni »

I was browsing ebay and noticed this engine for sale. Might be of interest to someone.
The listing included a couple of video links to youtube showing it running.
What struck me was the photo of the Van Shell that it came from....

Well, I did say what caught my eye was the Van body shell....

if you look at the video, it was made Jan 2020 so that give some idea of the interest they've had... :roll:

From memory it's been on eBay for quite some time. I could be wrong, but I think it was originally listed without any videos. At that price, it is hardly surprising. I don't think I ever looked at the listing in much detail, the price putting me off anything but a cursory glance.

For that money you aren't even getting the starter, manifolds or carb. Doesn't sound like much of a bargain to me !

Don't all rush at once, I think it may be available for some time yet.....
