Anyway, originally the car was fitted with a 289 engine. Rob wonders if there might be a way of tracking down that original 289 or parts of it, like the block for example. Is John Allsop still around?

A 302 for a 289.
Rob Wragg is a stickler for originality. That's probably why he bought coupe no. B8/49 - beautifully restored and about as original as you could get.
To keep it company in the garage, he's also bought sports no. B8/47 which, as we all know was the prototype sports.
For the sake of originality, Rob's planning a return to its first colour, silver.
I'm wondering if this means removing the quarter windows and going back to the narrow bonnet bulge as well.
