1100's (or rather 1098's) start with 10v Ben :wink:

Hence..

10V = 1098
12V = 1275
15V = 1500 Diesel
18V = 1800

12V247E-H338 Stands for: 1275, inline, Dynamo, mechanical fuel pump, Centre gearbox, crankcase ventilated, high compression engine number: 338 :D

Very early one by the look of it.. i.e. 237th engine of that spec built. first one was number 101
If a link was changed to "ebay linky" then that was probably Sam, because she's sad..

Don't think so, more likely something someones lashed together..

that engine bay looks a bit hacked about, any history on this car?
