It's good to be back, car should be with me on thursday so I will post some pictures then
Engine is on garage floor and looks mint, turns over smoothly and has no play in crank. Will drop sump to fit some new shells and check the bores.
Not sure on spec of rest of engine yet but will be in similar vein to the last one
Need some help to find a riley one point five diff and a set of disks.....!
Been a lot of changes since emily, have moved away since getting divorced, have fab new job with company that makes laser cnc stuff so getting metal cut is no problem ..!

Remember the Wolsley 1500 used the same diff its a bit of folk lore that it only had a 3.9 they both use the 3.7

If you really twist my arm, I might let you borrow one until you can replace it...
