Subject: Re: 1949 Lagonda 2.6 litre for sale on eBay
Dear Simon,
you are a good finder!
But I doubt you can find complete engines, only if you take them out of a barnfind Lagonda or somebody else did it for you. I think that is the reason that many DB Lagonda barnfinds sadly turn up without them. Plus the cost of new parts. You can buy new: blocks, heads, crankshafts, camshafts, pistons... all the internal parts, adding up to 20000 GBP. I don't know a source for new: camshaft covers, suction manifold, timing chain cover and corresponding part where the water pump is integrated, all the casted parts around the engine.
For gearboxes I don't know. Were they used (or similar ones) in other cars than the DB Lagonda and Aston Martin?
