I thought I'd post an ad that I will put up on ebay shortly, just in case any members are interested. Intended to start the bidding at £500. Contact me via PM if you are interested.
Here is a picture:

Jensen Healey Mk1 Lotus 907 Engine. 40,000 miles. Working well, just removed from car.
This auction is for a Jensen Healey Mk1 Lotus 907 engine. It is in good order throughout and drives very well with no known faults. It has good oil pressure and there are no oil leaks. This is the early version with the bulkhead mounted oil filler reservoir.
This is the history of this engine, as I know it:
The Jensen Healey you see in the pictures was bought by me about a year ago. It had been fully restored a couple of years earlier with many parts, including this engine, coming from a 37,000 mile Mk1 donor car. It had a burnt exhaust valve so the head was re-built before fitting.
Looking at the recent MOT history, I would estimate the engine has not yet reached 40,000 miles. I cannot verify this mileage, but have no reason to question it.
As an aside, I still have the original factory fitted engine that came with the car with a lot of other spares. The original engine also runs ok, so I can only conclude there would have been little point swapping it out unless it was for a better, lower mileage engine.
The engine is only available because I am having a 2.2 litre 907 built for the car. The engine was removed from the car last weekend and had been running very well up to its removal. In the year I have had the car, it has never given any trouble whatsoever.
The engine will be complete but less ancillaries, manifolds etc, which are needed for my new build.
The engine can be viewed by prior arrangement the Oxford area, just let me know if you would like to see it.
The 4 speed gearbox and overdrive unit were removed at the same time and are available separately from the sale of the engine. These are also in very good working order. If you would be interested in the engine/box/overdrive , let me know.
