Last Friday I picked up the rest of the parts, that came with the car. It looks like the old war horse has been used in anger .

More evidence of a hard life cam follower and pistons

It will need new brake parts, to get it going, but luckily i found these in some of the many boxes with spares that came with the car

[e-type]

maybe I am lucky, this box was among all the many parts that came with the car

Saturday, I pulled out the engine.

Reason why they stopped using the car: broken remote housing, and diff cover

Are you nuts!! , Cooper S thin flange engine block

[e-type]

Drop gears with Timken bearings, and nicely engineered plate

After honing the rusty cylinders, the pistons cam out, nice polished Cooper S conrods

EN40B 1275 S crank and 731 cam

Nice!

All looks well recoverable.

Genuine LSD, but never seen these output shafts before.
According to the seller, the driveshafts, should be Jack Knight, but the output shafts looks like a mix of hardy spicer and pot-joints.
Any info on this please?

Better pictures may help.

Do not know exactly but I remember that in one of the ancient David Vizard "Mini Technical News" he wrote that someone in Denmark used modified Saab driveshafts. Have to look through all my copies.

Looks like someone has welded a turned down pot type joint onto a salisbury LSD type output shaft , you can just see the weld .

Yes after cleaning, I can see, that is what has been done.

Maybe only the shafts are Jack Knight.

There is still evidence from the last Rally it did some 35 years ago in Faxe Kalkbrud. Faxe is the town, where they make Beer, but also have a large limestone quarry. The white stuff is everywhere under the car.

I think it will need a recharge
