Mike,

I've got a short block that keeps getting in my way. It is yours if you 
want to drive up here and can't find one closer.

I have a '62 Sprite with a 1275 that I'm looking to sell for a few 
hundred. Not sure you want that many extra parts though.

David,
      First of all, where are you located?  Second, I have no room for
another Brit car, small or otherwise. I have a two car garage that houses
the Bugeye, a Harley Davidson and a BN2 mid restoration.  There is an MGB
GT and a Honda in the driveway.  There just isn't room for it. My
homeowners association would put a lean on my house if I parked it in the
driveway.  Lucky for me a friend has offered a tired 1275 minus the head (I
have two heads rebuilt and ready to install).  The only logistical problem
is I am in Southern California and he is in the Bakersfield area
(Tehachapi) which is a 4 -5 hour ride one way.  I just got out of the
hospital for pneumonia and sepsis. Not quite 100% yet. I really am not
ready for a road trip just yet.  If I could get someone to go with me and
share the driving I would go this week.  Thanks much for the offer, but I
can't even retrieve a free motor just yet.

   I am in no need of another car either...but perhaps we could do some 
creative financing for that '62 and take it apart here at my place in 
Santa Barbara.    I would not mind a good rear axle assembly and some 
doohickeys here and there from the car to help with my project.  Its not 
a Spridget but it is now 1098cc Spridget powered.   Only gotcha is my 
wife will get upset if it sits in the yard a year or 2 :) so we would 
have to take it apart fairly quickly, like before the next rain season.

  Bonus points if the rear is a original wire wheel rear and not a rear 
with wire adapters.
