Dave Sapp has a Standard Special engine in his Morgan. Dave is in Somerset, but doesn't post on TM.
It provided a challenge during restoration , is all I know.

Rob Davies ( BuyBritish of this parish) has a 1947 Series 1 with I believe the Standard Special engine so another useful contact.

Can't the MSCC experts help also? Possibly but it's a super rare engine, so the expertise will lie with those who have taken one on. Dave had to have a block repair after a crack appeared, and there were other difficulties due to its rarity.
