Engine #BJ4634-8. So it has the "B" cylinder head. larger valves. improved air flow and higher HP of the Mark 2 2. 4L engine. Engine is bored . 030" oversize and fitted with new pistons. rings. etc. Clutch is the larger one from that engine. Transmission is numbers matching 4-speed. I also failed to mention that all the headlights. tail lights. front vent grilles. trunk reverse light is included. Chrome is lightly pitted on most of these pot metal parts. Similiar to that on the "leaping Jaguar" hood ornament. Please look at the photos closely . For example. the twin downdraft Solex carbs define this as a 2. 4L engine. It is a nice early Mark 1 but not new or fully restored.
