Further info:

This Lot could be a godsend for anybody restoring a TA - it primarily consists of an XPAG short engine, serial No.3192, that was removed from a running vehicle in 2016. The parts include: cylinder head assembly (2), rocker assembly (2), valve set and push rods, rockerbox cover, SU carburettor set, intake and exhaust manifolds, coolant pump and housing, exhaust downpipe, plus a propshaft assembly. These scarce items are being offered at No Reserve. The immortal XPAG unit was derived from the OHV engine of the Morris Ten Saloon, and became the beating heart of the MG TB and then the TC. It featured a cast iron block and cylinder head and counterbalanced crankshaft, and was fuelled by a pair of 1.25 inch SU carburettors, while its block-mounted camshaft was driven by a duplex roller chain. The powerplant's standard output was 54.5bhp and 65 ft lb of torque, but it could be persuaded to release considerably more.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot is an MPJG engine and not an XPAG engine as catalogued
