          If I wasn't up to my wotsits in projects I would be after that one. It looks like a lovely log term project for someone young enough t take it on. It does look as if it has never been registered. BTW what is a complete non running Fiat 2l twin cam worth?

            I've identified the kit number, and the seller has amended the listing.

            As above, it's not been on the road and there's no paperwork with it.
            Hopefully whoever buys it will buy the other parts as well.

            Like others, I've too much else going on and this does look a tad past it, so please let me know, whoever you are, when you take it on

              Seems the prices are rising for classic Twin cams and especially 5 speed boxes --- at least £400 -500 for the complete lump maybe more ... and there is a Fiat one in the car and a spare Lancia one with the car, which I think is the same one ??
              Alfa 's are a lot more especially the 5 speed box as I think from late 80's they put it in the rear axle from the 75 onwards !!!

                  On a logic thread, how did the ex owner know it was too fast if it was never registered? Didn't Lancia do a 1600cc engine? I think I need to dig my old Fiat engine and gearbox out and give it a coat of looking at.
