I have only seen a couple Original 4/4's. Most have been re-engined with a later Ford engine. My '63 had a 109E engine and a push pull transmission. 1348CC as I recall. The push pull transmission is easy to use and I found it worked quite well. I had sourced a Ford Crossflow/Transmission and Robert Couch converted it for the New Owner (New Owner now owns a 2005 Roadster). Not sure what engine You have but would guess it is a 105E out of a Ford Anglia.
You have a very rare 4/4 IMO. Hope You keep it Original and enjoy it.
Hi Button,
I took a closer look after your post and located the chassis number, A582, and the engine number, 175198, with an S in front of it.. The numbers jive with the original bill of sale from Fergus Motors in 1961.
Also, I found the engine number stamped upside down (!) on the bonnet halves. It kind of gave me a start as the stamping in the bonnet first looked like 86......, then I realized it was upside down 175198...There is a 100E on the cast timing cover.
So I think I can safely say this is the original engine, a Ford 100E?
Best regards, Jeff
