More Spare Parts

Drove to York and back today with a friend who also has a Superspec and picked up some spare parts for our cars that we bought off a chap who is changing the engine in his Superspec for a Mercedes V8 (Wow!!) .  

Here was the back of the Volvo when we got back :-)











Basically we picked up:
A complete Rover engine with only 2000 miles on it
Clutch
Gearbox
Adaptor Plate   (Unobtainable now)
Alternator
Input Manifold
Throttle Body
Injector Rail

ECU       
Starter Motor
Exhaust Manifold 
Catalytic Converter and Silencer   
Radiator 
Complete Engine Wiring Loom    
Coolant bottle 
The 3 Engine Mounts   
Propshaft   
Fuel Tank
Quick Shift Gear Mechanism
Water Pump
Power Steering Pump
Coolant Hose

 
(Originally we intended to have the differential and drive shafts as well, but it turned out they were off a disc brake version rather than our drum brake versions, so would not fit)


(And on the way I picked my replacement speedo cable from Mansfield)

I dread to think what these parts would normally have cost, and so many of them would be unobtainable anyway.  The chap was going to put them on E-Bay and had originally estimated the total cost at well over £800.  In the event he let us have it all for £500 (£250 each).   Very pleased.

 
Just have to find somewhere to store it all. :-)
