The engine is a brand new 1642cc 'mild' cam unit from VW Heritage and is fitted with twin EMPI 34 ICT carburetors and electronic ignition. The engine has only done 105 miles since installation and requires running in for another 400 miles after which the oil should be changed and then the carburetors set up properly on a rolling road. At present the engine is somewhat sluggish, being very tight out-of-the-box and the carburetors cannot be set up properly until it has been run in.
The only main component that hasn't been renewed or restored is the gearbox which was found to be in excellent condition. The driveshafts and universal joints have been renewed.
