Returning original engine

[dave in australia]

In the mid 1960's, dad's second A had a timing gear failure. As he had a few spare engines in good condition, he just swapped one for the other. He restored this car in the 1970's, but never returned the original engine. Now, as a father-son project, we are again restoring the car, as well as fitting the original engine and placing it on full registration so it can wear its original 6 digit number plates, which we still have. Our plan is to have it ready for the 2020 Australian A national meet.
