Hi All.

I have just aquired a 1961 amazon and need a complete 1600 engine with 6 volt starter and dynamo if anyone has anything. A front axle would be usefull too.

I've got a few b16's around... But I'm in the states... Do you have the nose for that car? It should have the three part grilles but does it have the wide chrome surrounds or the narrow ones?

Hi. It has the thick early grill which is in pretty good order along with the front nose to match. The car is totaly original and in very good order. The only welding is the inner wing box section. The underneath is in perfect condition. The car has been dry stored for the last thirty something years but the engine is missing the pistons, conrods, sump and rocker gear. I do have a full set of mains and big end shells if i could find another engine to strip.

Does anyone know if the later disc brake front axles are a straight swap for the drum brake set up. I could easily get hold of a disc brake axle complete.
