Returning original engine
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.

Re: Returning original engine
I can see it is an original RHD car is it a phaeton ? (tourer in England) . The Australian phaetons we see here have wood subframes with the panels nailed on to increase local content I guess . Phaetons imported from NZ are all steel same as South American and English . Keep us all advised on your progress and send more pics keeps us all motivated !!!
