Spotted this on Facebook, a cautionary tale indeed!

Hi all,
I’m looking for some help.
To cut a long story short my dad (who is a pensioner) had a classic Morgan that he had owned since he was a young man. It unfortunately sat in a garage for many years and required some restoration.
My dads poor health meant he wasn’t able to do it himself.
A mechanic who was known to my family through my in laws whom had known him for years and were close friends, had agreed to take on the job and my dad was over the moon.
Fast forward a few years after much pain and angst for my family, the scumbag having taken thousands of pounds off my dad, then refused to give it back, having hidden it and going AWOL refusing to give us the location of it and refusing to answer any calls or texts despite all of our efforts.
After much effort and through family contacts we have managed to track the vehicle down and get it returned.
Unfortunately, we have ended up with a car with missing parts and in a worse state than when we started. Some missing parts are original and some were purchased as upgrades to be fitted but never were.
At a best guess these were parts were stripped and sold.
At this moment to begin with I am looking for a 1600 Ford crossflow engine.
There are other parts but I thought I’d start with the biggest first issue.
Hopefully someone on here can help and knows of one that is available.
Preferably looking for something restored or low millage etc.
If you can assist please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance!
All the best!
