It is, or should be, a Goldseal 1275cc automatic engine from an ADO16
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

Thanks Simon . It is a 1275 auto engine . Can’t see any remains off the gold paint but it’s not in the prettiest of states. Is there any info around on gold seal engines? Recognise the name but don’t no anything about how they was built or to what standard cheers Justin
